The class was segmented into four groups with 5-6 students per group. Students weregiven detailed guidance in terms of a project rubric that discussed the motivation behind the projectand outlined the boundary conditions that the food printer design should abide by. These includedconstraints such as print size, the requirement of an all-mechanical design (no electricalcomponents), and a limit on the number of parts to be designed.

The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT)has shown promise in a variety of domains for its potential as a valid and reliable means ofcreativity assessment. Relying upon an operational definition of creativity and a group of ratersexperienced in a given domain, the CAT offers the field of engineering education an assessmentmethod that has demonstrated discriminant validity for dimensions of creativity as well as fortechnical strength and aesthetic appeal.

Across the US, undergraduate engineeringprograms incorporate engineering design instruction as a curriculum capstone activity in thesenior year of the program. However, design experiences are not uniformly incorporated intocourses prior to the capstone experience. In the chemical engineering department at Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville, short or mini-design experiences have not been historically included inthe curriculum prior to the capstone design experience for the seniors.
