year, the process of product design. The course specifically includedsignificant class time discussing the business and non-technical implications of the designdecisions they make. As initially developed, during the course students not only learned aboutthe business of engineering, they also applied these concepts to create a working productprototype. At the end of the course, students had to subject their designs to a design reviewwhere their engineering work and their business plans were evaluated. As of 2010, the course has been offered twenty times and has become a central part ofour ECE curriculum. In addition, the Department has had at least three internal Capstone Designassessments and two ABET reviews (in our last ABET review

Findings are presented to inform possibilities for design in engineering contexts anda multi-disciplinary, holistic attitude towards engineering education that is rising fromdiscussions on the future of engineering education.IntroductionIn undergraduate engineering academic programs, engineering design often serves as acornerstone or capstone experience, supplying context and motivations for how to construct andredesign the world. There is usually an undue burden on the instructor to seed such classes withcompelling and technically sufficient projects and provide enough structure to make a goodlearning experience.1 With this concern, it is

from a focus on products (Dym, etal., 2005) to processes (Diefes-Dux, et al., 2004) and to the integration of entrepreneurship into thecurriculum (Kuratko, 2011; London, et al., 2018). However, while the importance of centering the designeffort of students around customer discovery and value creation is increasingly being recognized (e.g.,Bekki, et al., 2018), challenges exist in effectively integrating content that students learn in theengineering curriculum, and advances in technology, with ways of values to a customer in an educationsetting. A primary challenge is the development of new content which builds on, supplements andexpands students’ grasp of engineering, economic and social concepts. Furthermore, the integration ofnew content

The new version of the course is divided across two semesters,Senior Design 1 (SD1) and Senior Design 2 (SD2). The first semester is a lecture- andworkshop-based course that provides students with opportunities to engage in in-class activitiesas well as individual- and group-based assignments that are designed to strengthen their skillsand expose them to new concepts in engineering design (e.g., ethics, problem definition,stakeholder exploration, ideation).

If you don’t have fun in this class, you picked the wrong major!Conclusions:Five examples of design projects incorporating various technologies and off-the-shelf parts werecreated to better prepare students to meet the challenges of the capstone design. The results ofassessment indicate that these projects are very effective at doing this.

STEM courses involves creating environments in which students can interact with one another, engage in collaborative problem solving, and articulate and defend their ideas. To accomplish this, undergraduate peer educators or Learning Assistants (LAs) are hired to facilitate small-group interactions in these LA-supported courses. As such, LAs are critical to beginning and sustaining course transformation efforts.16,20 As part of the LA experience, LAs participate in three coordinated activities: (1) Practice - LAs facilitate in-class discussion amongst students while students work through group-worthy activities, (2) Content - LAs have regular instructional team meetings with the STEM faculty teaching LA-supported
