et al. [3] investigated project-based learning activities in Science, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics (STEM) subjects in high schools. Specifically, STEM activities were deployedat three high schools in urban, low-income communities in Texas in the US, and the effect of theactivities on student mathematics scores over three years on a standardized test were studied.Students participating in the study were 54% Hispanic and 38% African American, with theremainder made up of White and Asian students. Overall, the student body was 49% male. Thus,the student participants were racially and gender diverse. Interestingly, the lowest performingstudents showed the biggest improvement in mathematics scores after having experiencedproject-based

engineering design, such as systematic contexts, decision making, and collaboration [25].But in the meantime, the engineering design could be an effective activity for teaching liberalarts and engineering students how technology and society interact from the perspective of thecreator of technology, the designer or engineer [26]. In other words, engineering design acts as abridge that smoothly connects between liberal arts and engineering education. Most liberal artsuniversities expose freshmen to engineering design in their first year. On the one hand, first-yearstudents in general lack a clear understanding of the engineering profession and its differentdisciplines. Students are vulnerable to pursuing majors that diverge from their career

Likewise, the responsesfrom the second engineering class survey administration have been combined. These datasets arereferred to as ENG #1 and ENG #2, respectively. The results from the first and secondadministration in the BCOM class are labeled as BCOM #1 and BCOM #2, respectively.

It is a field of doing and making, creating great products and services that fit human needs, that delight and inform. Design is exciting because it calls upon the arts and humanities, the social, physical, and biological sciences, engineering and business.” – Don Norman, “State of Design: How Design Education Must Change”2Anyone can design a product, yet good design involves making a product both useful andunderstandable. Design is more than just the application of technology: because products interactwith people at
