Design thinking is fundamental in understanding thetechnologically dependent nature of our society because design represents a decision makingprocess for converting resources optimally to meet our needs 3. This study was developed in aneffort to gain a better understanding of how to administer and measure design thinking of highschool students. Using a modified protocol analysis, this study focused on the design thinking ofengineering design teams. As proffered by Roberts et al. 4, “The development of design, problemsolving, and communications skills within a team setting is a crucial component of the educationof a globally competitive engineer” (p. 2).

Insteadwe postulate that such differences inform students’ socialization into engineering and, as a result,their patterns of co-curricular participation. Weidman defines socialization as “the process bywhich individuals acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that make them more or lesseffective members of their society” [5].

A plan is presented to introduce hands-on, biomedically-related experiments and course materials intothe engineering curriculum, with a focus on artificial organs. These biomedical modules will be integrat-ed throughout Rowan’s engineering curriculum, into the multidisciplinary freshman engineering course,core engineering courses, and senior electives. Exposure to biomedical topics will provide excellentpreparation for interested students to pursue graduate studies in related disciplines

Alternative Student Assessment in Engineering EducationIn this research study, an alternative approach to assess student performance and academic learningin engineering disciplines is proposed with the intention of shifting a grade driven mentality intoa learning-oriented mindset. The rational for this model of assessment is to disrupt normalizedassessment practices in higher education, reframe student thinking regarding learning andacquisition of knowledge, and encourage students to engage in coursework in meaningful ways.Unfortunately, grades in higher education have become a primary focal point for many students asa means to secure internship opportunities, undergraduate research, post-graduation employment,and graduate school

courses'competitive nature.Engagement is one of the main factors that can be used to predict academic success. An engagedstudent is more likely to have short-term goals such as an intention to participate in an internshipprogram or long-term goals such as intentions to pursue graduate studies or move into the technicalworkforce. Tutoring sessions, field trips, and research projects have been introduced to theundergraduate engineering student's curriculum ostensibly to increase engagement. Peerdiscussions in undergraduate courses have helped develop the personal and social skills to thrivein an engineering major. Peer discussions seem to enhance student learning compared with coursesthat do not allow peer discussions [2]. Capstone projects serve as a great
