and evaluation. DBR parallels principles of design as we teach them in our technologyand engineering classes: “Design has its own distinct ‘things to know, ways of knowing them,and ways of finding out about them’” so it investigates “the man-made world” through“modelling, pattern-formation, [and] synthesis” toward values of “practicality, ingenuity,empathy, and a concern for ‘appropriateness’” (p. 221-222)11. DBR leverages the complexity ofeducational environments; opportunities for iteration in different contexts (to see what works,when); and product-based nature of curriculum design.

The MEA wasdesigned for an introductory biomechanics course targeted primarily at junior bioengineeringstudents, although the class also included sophomore and senior-level bioengineering students.The biomechanics course focused on teaching the basics of statics and continuum mechanics asapplied to the human body, and featured topics related to assessing strength of materials forengineering design. Overall, the class consisted of 94 bioengineering students split between twoclass sections.Considering the general goals and objectives of the biomechanics course, the MEA was
designed to assist students with self-efficacy beliefs and personal goals.At this University all engineering and computer science students take an introduction toengineering course that covers the engineering process, teamwork, communication skills, thedifferent branches of engineering, ethics, and co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities.Section sizes are ~30 students, so students can build community with peers and their professor.The professor of the Introduction to Engineering course is the academic advisor for his/her set ofstudents. Students declare or confirm their major by the end of the first semester. Resources tohelp students choose a major include laboratories, advisor meetings, student panels, a semester-long team project
