SO 1 is evaluated through a midterm and final exam where students arerequired to recreate 3D models based on Engineering Drawings, and SO 4 is evaluated throughethics presentations where they explore the ethics of emerging engineering technology. Repeatedassessments are also designed to encourage a growth mindset in students.ConclusionThe application of bio-inspired design to our Introduction to Engineering Design course has hadan overall positive impact on the course flow and student development. Students have an easiertime deciding on their projects because of the limitation of bio-inspired design which gives themmore time for redesigning their models and testing procedures
