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
