In thisdesign process, instructors include team-building activities at the beginning of the semester andfollow an iterative design process that centers around stakeholders at every phase of the designprocess. Teamwork and uncertainty are implied, but not formalized attributes of the designprocess.In Human-Centered Design [15], we find that teamwork is highly encouraged, which shouldimpact the innovation of the final design. For example, IDEO provides a human-centered designtoolkit [12] and summarizes the phases of the design process as “Hear, Create, Deliver”. It thenadvocates multidisciplinary teams as a best practice, which may mean 3 to 8 teammates, keepinga gender balance, and disciplinary and educational backgrounds. This methodology
