Typically, the use of engineering in high school teaching centers aroundusing the engineering design process in the classroom. The authors have observed over a three-yearfunded research project that biology and chemistry are the hardest STEM subjects to implement theengineering approach, unlike other disciplines such as physics, math, and engineering subjects. Thispaper describes two case studies of two teachers, one teaches zoology and the other teaches biology. Thepaper outlines each case study, the teacher implementation, classroom results by students

The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT)has shown promise in a variety of domains for its potential as a valid and reliable means ofcreativity assessment. Relying upon an operational definition of creativity and a group of ratersexperienced in a given domain, the CAT offers the field of engineering education an assessmentmethod that has demonstrated discriminant validity for dimensions of creativity as well as fortechnical strength and aesthetic appeal.
