suggestions made by the students of one peer with whom they are compatible.The goal of this process is to ensure that all voices within the group are heard and to minimizethe impact of a potentially dominant group member.The first semester focuses on the first steps of the design process: developing a problemstatement, researching the problem, generating design ideas, evaluating and selecting a design,and detailing a design solution with a supporting engineering analysis using foundationalknowledge learned in prior courses and independently as needed (Figure 1). The final outcomefor the first semester is a design package, which will allow for the system to be built to print inthe second semester. The second semester focuses on enhancing the design

and relate to new concepts, improving learning outcomes. Wang and Wang [9] formalized the use of Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA) maps – a type of conceptual model developed for operations research – as a tool for teaching systems thinking in a classroom setting. The SODA map allowed students to practice collaborative and higher level problem-solving by deriving and visualizing different strategies for a case study. Eppler [12] discussed applications of concept maps in the classroom and the benefits of complementary visualization by combining different mapping methods to enable a “richer learning experience for students.” Tranquillo et al. [15] explored various one-page canvas frameworks as tools to help students model and

higher quality written project reports should be implemented infuture traditional courses.While this research was taking place, educators gathered to discuss best practices. BME IDEA(alliance of professors teaching design in Biomedical Engineering departments to improveinstruction) hosted a session on Teaching Capstone Design in a Remote Model at their annualmeeting in 2020. They identified strategies for teaching capstone design remotely, which includehelping students build strong, supporting teams; lowering expectations on the prototypes anddeliverables; considering alternative ways of grading such as the three-level scale: high pass,pass, and no pass, with the letter grade requiring that students try again, implemented by Dr.Ann Saterbak at

Scholars Program tried to utilize the Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) model ingetting students involved in on-campus projects [22]. Similar to the reoccurring work experiencesessions in Professional Practice, students returning to the same overall research group do nothave to repeat the steep end of the learning curve becoming familiar with the overall project. Inthis educational pathway, undergraduate students at the freshman or sophomore level becomeinvolved in projects that they can continue to work on into graduate school, if they so desire. Aspart of the RS program, some of the students worked on such projects within ABE. A primaryexample has been multiple RS students continued involvement with the research, prototyping,and design
