diagnostics devices, or moregenerally, point of care tests (POCT) are likely to play an important role in future healthcare, especiallyin the developing world and other resource-limited settings where healthcare infrastructure is lacking.According to recent market surveys, the POC diagnostics global market is expected to reach $16.5 billionin 2016 [MONEGAIN 2014]. Applications include tests for infectious disease, glucose monitoring, bloodchemistry, pregnancy and fertility, cardiac markers, cholesterol, drugs and alcohol, hemoglobin, tumormarkers, and urine chemistry.POC devices are typically comprised of a credit-card sized plastic single-use (disposable) cassette thathosts a microfluidic network of channels, conduits, filters, reaction and reagent

it is difficult for them to relatetheir math problems to RL problems [1], [2], [3]. It is not a surprise that students often believethat math is boring, difficult, and useless, which indicates why students lose interest in thesecourses, leading to underachievement [4]. An important reason why students lose interest isbecause they do not see a connection between what they learn with real science and engineeringproblems [5]. Traditional word problems without real-world context are lacking in assigning asignificant role to the problem and in developing meaning for mathematics [6], [7]. In addition,students often approach math courses with fear and anxiety [2], [3]. For instance, students whoreported higher levels of math anxiety correlated to

Furthermore, mathematical practices and modeling are also mentioned ascrosscutting skills that align with the practice of science.The realities of the practice of teaching and learning in science and mathematics in the K-12grades is that not all students are afforded the opportunity to learn science in the context of real-world applications, i.e. engineering design. This is a combination of the lack of time to includethe practice of engineering design within the available instructional time, and/or the lack ofteacher knowledge in engineering design instruction and assessment.
