Each of the student reports were coded by the researchers by sections of the report,that included: Revisions from Previous Reports/Introduction, Solution Level Product DesignSpecifications, Conceptual Design Process, Initial Detailed Design, Plan for Next Year, andTentative Budget. A few reports had a Project Management section, though due to either none orone mention of a PDS term in that section across reports, the researchers determined that it wasnot worth including in the final

We discuss rationale for considering the newstructure, integrating multiple academic disciplines, setting up the new course structure,preparing the two-quarter course plan, and the experience of teaching it for the first time. Wealso address tensions of integrating non-technical disciplines into a design engineering course. Inthe spirit of user-centered design, we present this as a case study of radically iterating on coursedesign based on stakeholder feedback rather than make small changes to the existing courses.Context The authors are part of a Human Centered Design & Engineering department at an R1university, where the first author is a PhD candidate and the second and third authors
