Short Writing Assignments within a Laboratory Course to Improve Understanding and Interest in Course MaterialAbstractWriting exercises incorporated within technical courses has been shown to be effective inimproving critical thinking among engineering students. Specifically, short writing assignmentscan be implemented within upper level engineering courses to deepen student understanding ofconcepts. These assignments, while considered within some upper level courses, are notcommonly implemented within laboratory courses, which instead typically use laboratory reportassignments. Since students in our program already take another course which uses traditionallab reports, it is desirable to introduce some unique writing

Repeatedassessments are also designed to encourage a growth mindset in students.ConclusionThe application of bio-inspired design to our Introduction to Engineering Design course has hadan overall positive impact on the course flow and student development. Students have an easiertime deciding on their projects because of the limitation of bio-inspired design which gives themmore time for redesigning their models and testing procedures
