This longitudinal study, conducted over fourconsecutive semesters, assesses students' skills in innovation, prototyping, anddesign through a project-based course. Students were given 16 weeks to develop afunctional gamma prototype that would be scored by external experts andteaching assistants. Furthermore, the scores would be compared to actualperformance on a design challenge (DC). The gamma prototype is board gamethat functions as a teaching tool of the prototyping pathway for medical devicedesign.

engineering study abroad programs concentrates onundergraduate students. Statistics data shows that the number of graduate-level visitingscholars rises significantly in these years. The teaching strategy for undergraduate students isnot proper for them because the education for graduate students requires both advancedcourses and research. The students must learn the research methods, like literature review,computer-based simulation techniques, and analytical skills.This paper introduces two teaching models for graduate level visiting scholars in semester-long and year-long programs in ASU respectively. In the following parts, Section IIintroduces the motivation and goal of two visiting scholar programs. Section III describes theeducational model we
