Then, two different design projects were assigned to apply the engineering designprocess that they had learned. The learning experience as a team of 2-3 students through theseprojects is emphasized in this paper. The instructor provided a guideline for the design process,however, the instructor’s direct inputs towards the problem-solving in the projects wereminimized to encourage self-learning and learning while working together. These first-yearengineering students as a team independently navigated to complete these two engineeringprojects. The survey data showed that majority

Manufacturing for Authentic Digital Food Design Solutions1. IntroductionEntertainment as a communication and experimental platform can be effectively applied forintroducing students to social issues related to food equity, nutrition, and security in classroomlearning environments. These issues are characterized by the lack of consistent access to enoughfood for an active, healthy life. Educational projects at the intersection of food and entertainmenthas the potential to raise awareness about social issues and encourage students to creatively thinkabout innovative solutions using digital entertainment tools and human-centered designmethodologies.

several levels of design across different programs. This includes Capstone in theBachelors (BS) program, Professional Capstone in the Master of Engineering (MEng) program,and the Capstone Projects course in the College of Medicine. Having multiple disconnected levelsof design presents numerous challenges, such as sourcing projects, structuring the scope ofprojects, and sharing resources both physical and personnel related. As a result, we elected todevelop a shared resource model for projects across these programs to meet the needs of eachprogram and to enhance the learning experience and professional preparation for students. In thisnew model, medical students develop projects based on needs identified during clinical rotations.Medical students
