This work is aqualitative study of how a design-oriented methodology can help improve students’ success. Inorder to validate our thesis we plan to systematically analyze student’s grades. Based on ourcurrent data, we noticed a 3.37% improvement in the mean student grade over the last twoacademic years. The data collected is presented in figures 1 and 2.

Because it was late in the semester and courseinstruction had already been planned at each participating institution, not all 60items could be tested on every student participant due to classroom time constraints.The items were compiled into different sized packets based on the time available fortesting at each participating institution.

Forexample, a module could be centered on building a toothpick bridge. At the beginning of theunit students could be given a set of design criteria for a bridge they must construct. The criteriacan include weight and size constraints, material constraints, how much load it must handle, orany number of other requirements. As students plan their solution, different bridge designs canbe introduced such as suspension bridges, truss bridges, or arch bridges. Case studies of thedesigns of famous bridges can be used.
