engineering students enrolled in a workexperience course, 47% of the students described the task of finding technical reports as difficult[7]. In addition, undergraduate students often have erroneous perceptions about the ethical use ofinformation found on the web and the need to include citations [12].Literature ReviewLibrarians and engineering professors have tried many approaches to solve the problemspreviously noted in student assignments. Some notable examples have shown success inredesigning an assignment to emphasize information fluency skills in combination withinstruction from a librarian. Williams, Blowers and Goldberg [14] incorporated informationfluency into a thermodynamics course by revising assignments to require students to find data

Our purpose is to examine student learning connected to a designchallenge in two first-year courses: one in the chemical & biological engineering department andone in community & regional planning program within the school of architecture and planningdepartment; both courses were taught in the same research university in the southwestern US,which serves a very diverse population. We conducted two iterations in a design-based researchprocess. Design-based research involves testing both theory of and designs for learning underreal world conditions.

Innovative solutions are needed to address the rising cost of education. EngineeringTechnology programs were started as a cost effective and innovative method to fill neededtechnology positions within engineering technology job fields (Ford & Ball, 2011). P-20 leadersneed to be aware of policies that affect the ability to pay for college. The availability of grantsand federal loan programs help students to cover costs.

Creating a “good” design challenge is crucial, as the coursedoes more than simply teach the design process (see Figure 1).
