Note: The final group project was the only part unchanged in the course both before and after the redesign. This assignment was used to assess Course Goals I and II. a. For the final project, students selected topics on global health issues or other problems in bioengineering. The students were asked to brainstorm and design solutions to these bioengineering issues. b. The project was scaffolded, where parts were

The survey was designed to address several questions: (a) What are students’ levelsof engineering literacy, in general? (b) Do students from science backgrounds differ from Page 26.1304.3students with liberal arts backgrounds with respect to engineering literacy?

The aim of this examination is todetermine whether the hypotheses adequately describe the new case.
