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

moderately incorporatedinto the course with low perceived impact.IntroductionLearning is at the center of every classroom. It is the process of acquiring new information orunderstanding, storing it, and later retrieving it for application in a process often called “transfer”[1]. In the classroom, this is seen as the passing of information from instructor to student. Thisinformation is held for short periods of time and processed in the working memory space of ourbrains; it can be manipulated through thinking [1], [2]. Each distinct piece of information isconsidered an element or “chunk,” and our working memory can only hold four to sevenelements at a time [1], [2]. Unlike working memory, however, long-term memory is nearlyinfinite with information
