. The challenge lies inbuilding a box in which the pigeons can learn. How to design learning so it becomes natural,commonplace, even predictable?The show goes on to consider the role of the teacher:Now, you might think that this makes teachers unimportant. You'd be completely wrong. Theteacher is anything but a bystander. That's because it's the teacher who designs the world inwhich the student learns.The goal of this paper has been to present the design of a better box in which students can learn.The work is ongoing.References[1] L.

While not all students providecomments, responses from these two categories, related specifically to components of theredesigned course (labs, online homework, videos, etc.) are presented below.Table 1.

Each group selectedgoals that were most applicable to their design project which can be found on Table 2. Of the 17UN Goals the engineering students selected eight as illustrated in Figure 2. • Goal 5: Gender Equality • Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation • Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy • Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure • Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities • Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and

Asa result, there is a need for best practices and standardization of such courses. Goldberg andPearlman discuss best practices for team-based assistive technology design courses in a surveypaper. They identify and encourage the use of eight best practices: 1. Identifying a client through a reliable clinical partner; 2. Allowing for transparency between the instructors, the client, and the team(s); 3. Establishing multi-disciplinary teams; 4. Using a process-oriented vs. solution-oriented product
