The follow-on study is the focus of this paper.The specific research question addressed in this paper is: Why did the interventions improvelearning of the role of problem formulation in design?Literature Review“Doing design does not insure the learning of design” [7]. A foundational element of nearlyall engineering design courses is doing design. Implicit in this pedagogy is the assumption thatdoing design is critical, if perhaps even sufficient, for learning design. Studies, however, showthat “doing” is clearly not sufficient for learning to occur.While design does not have one definition, the importance of

After thefirst two offerings the Committee recommended to run BME 201 more similar to the client-baseddesign courses by introducing the design problem, form teams, hold ‘client’ meetings, andprovide the best practices guidelines for writing reports and the evaluation forms at the beginningof the semester. Additionally, course evaluations revealed that there were too many disparatecontent platforms needing greater organization which could have also influenced team dynamic:outcome d, as well as overall performance in the course.

EWB projects entail trips that range from a few days to a few weeksand their programs focus on limited contracts with a community rather than a long-termrelationship. The Peace Corps Master’s Program provided a similar experience to CEDC’sprogram but it was recently phased out, and it focused on graduate students rather thanundergraduates (Peace Corps, 2016). Consequently, there are not many outlets for students toexperience such an intense experience in the Global South. Yet, other immersive studentprograms, such as study abroad experiences, could also yield similar impacts to CEDC’sinternship experience.The authors highly suggest that other service-based programs like CEDC investigate
