were single-session (ca. 160 students), and therewere six to eight identical laboratory sections (ca. 20-40 students). A single instructor taught alllectures, and a common undergraduate teaching assistant workforce (10-12 individuals) sharedcoaching responsibilities across all lab sections. All IDE-related laboratory periods were held inthe program’s undergraduate makerspace [29]. Prior to the start of the IDE, in-class time wasdedicated to safety and tool competency training. In the weeks preceding the IDE, all studentswatched a video-based safety orientation, took an online safety quiz, and completed a self-pacedlaboratory experience that involved them demonstrating competencies in-person to a teachingassistant. All students viewed the same
assumptions and concepts as they aredeveloped, allowing students to make informed judgments. However, these benefits rely on thesuccessful implementation of human-centered design activities in engineering classes. This oftendepends on the graduate teaching assistants (TAs) who lead discussion or laboratory sections. Thiswork-in-progress paper describes the implementation of a human-centered design activity thatintroduces human-centered design to students in a Design for Manufacturability course. It exploresthe TA’s experiences in implementing this activity and the impact of the activity on students’understanding of the role of human-centered design in design for manufacturability in engineering.MethodsDesign This study is part of a design

havethe opportunity to earn academic credit for their engineering design work. A key difference in thisframework as compared to other typical capstone designs, independent studies, or research creditcourses is that undergraduate TAs and project managers within the project teams are responsiblefor developing many of the assignments distributed to those students enrolled the course as theproject progresses. The methods of student assessment within this framework include: individualor small-group weekly assignments, design notebook checks, peer and self-evaluations,participation, summative technical reports, and the Humanitarian Library. Additionally, unlikemany traditional problem set or laboratory courses, student skills are developed through
asdistinctness between engineering design thinking, on the one hand, and engineering model-basedreasoning, on the other hand. The 1990s witnessed the rise of a transformative wave to the engineeringcurricula, where the “engineering science” model became dominant in engineering curricula. In thismodel, the focus in the first two years of the curriculum is placed on the “engineering sciences,” or,alternatively, “analysis,” with the expectation that students would apply the learned scientific principles tosolve technical problems. However, a segregation problem between “design” and “analysis” started toemerge. The problem was caused not only by lack of appreciation for the complexities associated withdesign teaching and learning, but also by lack of

-year multi-teamproject, there was no mentoring from student to student within the group since they were allseniors. At the completion of their project, students graduated and therefore, no studentsremained to teach the incoming students about the project or best practices of the design process.This project is also different from a Design Competition project. In a design competition project,students’ main focus was on the completion of the product and less on the process of design [17],whereas in this project the focus of the students was to achieve a balance between process andproduct. For example, Poynter et al [17] described that the competition design project scope forthe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student competition was to
