While teaching for ITT Technical Institute in 2010, I was faced with the growing need for innovative ideas for teaching design in the classroom. My design students were all eager to learn; however, our resources were limited. Therefore, I decided to use my Action Research Project for my Master Program to explore methods for improving learning outcomes, retention, and overall student engagement.
