Civil engineersdesign, construct, and manage projects to meet society’s need for transportation, water,buildings, bridges, water and wastewater treatment and other infrastructures. With continuedU.S. investment in these backbone systems, the demand for civil engineers is increasing at a rateof 5% over the next 10 years which is faster than the average for all occupations [1].

. Students document their work through four writtenreports and eight oral presentations (i.e., design reviews and test readiness reviews). The pace isbrisk. The workload is substantial. And, while each team member has a distinct technical role, allwork is completed collaboratively. For many students, teamwork is the most challenging elementof the project, as documented by Haslam and Beck [1].An important step in supporting effective teamwork is the use of best practices in teamformation. The literature suggests many factors to consider when forming student teams. Thesefactors include ethnicity, culture, and gender [2], [3], personality [4], [5], schedule [3], academicperformance [6], engineering maturity (i.e., previous experience in a professional

EngagementIntroductionAs defined by engineering accreditation agency ABET, engineering design is “a process ofdevising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs and specifications withinconstraints” [1]. One example constraint within this ABET definition is usability [1]. A relatedconcept to usability is empathy. Empathy can strengthen the design process, inspiring engineersto create products that are easy to use.In this study, we examine the use of human-centered design in an open-ended first-year designproject to increase student engagement and empathy.
