due to work ethic/learning style differences. Almost half described the activity asgood or great. Most of those expressed how much the activity helped them learn, however almostall students viewed it as a presentation with presentation skills. The final comment suggestsredefining the approach to move away from a presentation style to a discussion format. This willbe attempted in Spring 2014. Multiple students expressed the desire to have more student-ledexamples, which is also being implemented in Spring 2014. In general, it appears the studentsput more effort into truly learning the material with this activity than with homework. Thedownside is that they only put this effort into one problem during the entire semester.Conclusions

Although the material from the Studying Engineering6 book wasdiscussed throughout the semester, there were many times the students were disconnected fromthe concepts and felt it did not apply to them. To try and remedy this issue, the class structurewill allow the students to take more control of the activities while also learning about positionsthey may hold in a student club. An example is that a group of students would be on a socialcommittee. This group would then be in charge of any social activities involving the ENGR 204class, such as

Each groupof students defined the need/problem, designed a solution, pitched their solution to potentialinvestors, purchased materials from a supply store, tested their prototype, and demonstrated theirprototype. At the end of the activity, it was revealed that the supply store had charged each groupdifferent prices for materials to simulate different allocation of resources. The students engagedin discussion of the technical aspects of their designs as well as the financial, ethical, and societalconsiderations that must be considered when designing solutions in global health.Central Dogma of BiologyThis module introduced basic principles of genetics and the mechanisms of DNA replication
