This paper presents several exercises for use in courses for non-science students who are fulfilling a general education science requirement. Each exercise requires students to use fundamental concepts to design something new. In this manner, the exercises force the students to move from the lower levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy to the synthesis and judgment levels. Although these activities were used in a course for non-science students some may be useful in engineering courses as well.
