Jerome Bruner [10] suggests, learning constitutes a constructivist process in whichstudents actively make content material their own, then students must be given multipleopportunities to interact in meaningful ways with that content (in this case, the engineeringdesign process). The use of impromptu design projects across the curriculum provides onesignificant way in which to close this gap in students’ learning.In order to overcome this issue, the use of the impromptu design contest format [6, 11, 12] toteach the engineering design process, while simultaneously reinforcing engineering sciencecourse content is presented.

In addition to the capstone senior design courseofferings, Biomedical Engineering programs increasingly incorporate standalone engineeringdesign courses into the curriculum as early as freshman year. These promising attempts emphasizethe importance of reinforcing engineering design practices. However, it is still a challenge toaccommodate engineering design projects into field-specific courses

The second course takes places in a 15,000 square foot makerspace withroom for students to work in teams of 3-4 on a project that incorporates many engineering skills,one of which is a basic introduction to circuitry.While engineering students are first taught programming in ENGR 110, their first exposure tocircuitry occurs in the second course in the sequence. In ENGR 111, students first learn aboutcircuitry components before constructing very basic circuits with an Arduino. Then, studentslearn about circuitry principles such as Ohm’s Law and build more basic circuits with anemphasis on state measurements.This first exposure to circuitry concepts takes place in the middle of a semester-long project thatstudent
