HCDemphasizes empathy, user-centered problem-solving, and iterative prototyping and oftenincorporates project-based learning, collaborative teamwork, and real-world engagement [3].Some institutions have embedded human-centered design throughout their curriculum, such asJames Madison University [4] and Harvey Mudd College [5]. Engineering design projects arealso commonly found in first-year courses and capstone project [6], [7], [8].

This effort created new multi-disciplinary freshman (EGE 1001) and sophomore (EGE 2123) courses and identified the need fordiscipline-specific junior courses to round out this sequence before students begin their senior projects[23]. The areas of focus for the junior level experience were; practice engineering tools, project-baseddelivery, discipline specific techniques and content, and identify capstone opportunities.
