graft-versus-host disease [3]. Applied microfluidic technologies are being developed to aid in the fields ofpersonalized medicine and disease diagnostics (both in the clinic and in the field). Yet, even withall of these advances and possibilities, the development and use of this technology is not welldisseminated to the general public, especially young scientists. When most K-12 students areasked to come up with a definition for lab-on-a-chip technologies or microfluidic devices, moststudents think they have something to do with computers and/or smart phones. Moreover, manyof these same students are shocked to learn how these technologies, with mostlybiological/biomedical applications, are developed by engineers and chemists. The success

curricular strategy that has gained recent interest and attention for strengthening students’sociotechnical thinking is the incorporation of sociotechnical content into existing engineeringcoursework, where both technical and non-technical aspects of engineering are highlighted in theengineering curriculum. Sociotechnical material has been integrated into engineering sciencecourses (e.g., [31]-[35]) as well as other more technical engineering courses, such as anintroduction to computing course [36], a feedback systems control course [37], and a computervision technology course [38]. Courses have also been created to focus on a sociotechnicalengineering framework (e.g., [39],[40]), including first-year introduction to engineering courses(e.g., [41

This study also reported on the inter-rater reliability of the web-based versionof the CAT and its discriminant validity. Results proved that the web-based version of theCAT is a valid and reliable means of measuring student’s creative outcomes. The resultsand implications for K-12 technology and engineering education are discussed in thisreport.

Mathematicalproblem-solving strategies will be discussed as well in this course.
