throughout the program’s curriculum to complete a design project. This paperinvestigates the ongoing work of restructuring a traditional one-semester, 3-credit springcapstone experience in materials science and engineering into a two-semester fall (1-credit) andspring (2-credit) experience. During the restructuring of the capstone experience, the Human-Centered Design (HCD) framework, a method to formalize the design process in discrete stages,was integrated into the course content. Due to course catalog constraints, a 1-credit fall coursewas piloted in Fall 2022 as an elective for seniors (enrollment was approximately 30% of thesenior population); the traditional 3-credit course was still required of all seniors in Spring 2023.Aspects of HCD were

structured nature of courses, allowingstudents to gain valuable insights and experiences in a more manageable and integrated manner.Examples of such collaborations include industry-driven capstone projects, research seminars,plant tours and guest lectures [7].In Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) undergraduate education, the integration ofindustry involvement within coursework has predominantly centered around capstone designcourses [8]. Here, students engage in semester-long projects, collaborating with industrysponsors to address research problems and deliver comprehensive reports. Other more infrequentassociation involve instructors inviting guest lecturers to contribute industry perspectives to thecoursework. However, aligning these

computational lab occurs at the end of a series of labs covering finite elementanalysis (FEA) using COMSOL. Similar to above, this is a capstone project over the last twoweeks of class after a sequence of labs where students are taught to use COMSOL via step-by-step tutorials and related challenge problems.Here, the computational lab is somewhat less open-ended: students are all given the same steelcomposition to use (AISI 1045 steel), and the important physical parameters they need, but thedetailed step-by-step directions for exactly how to perform the simulations required are notprovided. As in the Thermo-Calc lab, the students must design the simulations themselves.This lab brings together much of what was covered throughout the computational labs

revolutionize materials engineering industries. New interdisciplinary courses are needed, and students should be given an opportunity to work on a capstone project or final year dissertation thesis specifically in the area of materials and AI/machine learning. In fact, whenever possible, collaboration with a computing department or a computing school should be pursued. Such collaboration will enrich students’ experience and expand the selection of courses students can read in order to specialise and be competent in this niche field. 4.2.2 Materials and Sustainability Materials sustainability is cited as one of the emerging trends in materials engineering industry through our stakeholders’ analysis. It is rightfully so as
