design team can work toward a shared goal with theirstakeholders or end-users. The focus on stakeholder needs also helps the team to clarify the rootproblem and ensure that they are working toward the correct solution, as opposed to merely anobvious or easy solution. In other words, the HCD process does not try to just solve any problem,but rather a specific, need-based problem faced by the users or stakeholders [16].Since 2019, a newly established design center at a large, public Midwestern university has beenusing the HCD framework shown in Figure 1 to develop programs and design activities that canhelp students learn about HCD processes and practices and develop its mindsets [15].

post-pandemic are overwhelmingly desirous of in-class instruction with no videos. Wefind that our graduate students co-enrolled in senior design electives have been less affected bythe pandemic in terms of acceptance of the flipped format. This gives hope that the effects of thepandemic on the student experience with flipped classrooms will be temporary. However, it is areminder that student acceptance of pedagogical tools does vary in time, and that instructorsshould be nimble in being able to respond to the needs of an individual cohort.References[1] Bishop, J., & Verleger, M.
