and solutions in terms of value creation; apply creative thinking toambiguous problems; demonstrate resourcefulness and collaborate in a team setting. Anadditional objective for each of these projects was to help students synthesize knowledge gainedfrom various separate chapters in a given unit or over the course of the semester and to relate thisinformation in a practical manner to a real world Biomaterial problem. Each of the fourassignments embedded multiple ACL techniques such as jigsaw (expert teams) and think-pair-share.Mini-Project1 - Bonding, Crystal Structure, Slip, Crystallographic Defects and Properties:The first Mini-Project was designed to occur at the end of the first unit and to serve as a“capstone” assignment to the unit prior
