The novel provides connections between the twoparts of the course, the technical and the social, and the theme that crosses from one to the other,as a bridge between the computer virus material and the biological virus material, models the veryidea of integration across diverse studies. A capstone question, how facilities of the modernInternet might help save people in a disaster brought about by a plant or animal virus, elicits yetanother perspective on the relationships among these subjects.ResultsThe author regrets that no quantified results are available, no

doctoral degrees in Civil En- gineering from North Carolina State University in the USA. Her disciplinary research interests lie in the area of sustainability in asphalt pavements using material considerations, green technologies, and efficient pavement preservation techniques. Her doctoral work focused on improving the performance of recycled asphalt pavements using warm mix asphalt additives. As a postdoctoral scholar at North Carolina State University, she worked on several NCDOT sponsored research projects including developing specifica- tions for crack sealant application and performing field measurements of asphalt emulsion application in tack coats and chip seals. Her undergraduate teaching experience includes

class time, there are active discussions andhands-on learning related to the learned course content. The design thinking course has threeprojects- the first two projects are small projects aimed to help students learn the designthinking process. The third project is a larger course capstone project where students apply thedesign process to solve a real time problem and come up with functional prototypes as a projectoutcome. All the projects are group-based projects and the final project groups are selected bystudents themselves based on their interest area for the project. To understand the context ofthis study, the next section describes a typical class meeting.Daily Routine- Design Thinking Course Students read and complete the
