. Due to the complex and multidisciplinary nature of their projects, engineeringstudents must learn how to work effectively on a team, as the majority will be expected to workas part of a team after graduation. The projects that they will face during both their academic andpost-academic careers will involve problem-solving and critical thinking, and the unique skillsand perspectives of each team member are necessary to arrive at effective solutions. This paperintroduces a pedagogical boardgame aimed at simulating arguments within an engineeringexercise, as well as the study planned to track the changes.A diverse team has people with different backgrounds, experience, and ways of thinking.

The results are quite useful in adjusting ourresearch design and approach as we plan our future research.Future WorkThe authors plan to conduct an IRB approved study in fall 2023 with four sections of the sameengineering design course as used in the pilot study (n=64). The data set will be modified basedon the results of the pilot study.Because our results suggest that students do not consistently engage with empathy throughoutthe design thinking process, in future studies we propose a design thinking model thatencourages more sustained empathy throughout the iterative process (see Fig. 3).Fig. 3: Empathy-based Design Thinking adapted from the Stanford Model for Design Thinking[6].

Attending to students' sense of belonging is critical totheir development and is associated with student persistence and engagement in learning. Thus,enhancing the peer mentors fostering of student belonging is fundamental to student success.

So, a lot of quantity takeoffs, looking up specs, just trying to like assist estimators, and any kind of monotonous work, you know. So, it was cool, like learning from everybody, though, because they obviously everyone in that office was super knowledgeable. I’m kind of hoping to get out on a project next summer.

These are strategic tracks that outline students’ journeys through an entire program inthe context of developing a specified competency or knowledge base [15]. A learningprogression framework presents a broad description of essential content and general sequencingfor student learning and skill development [16]. Given the characteristics of the HCEDframework, we argue that it can assist educators in planning and building curriculum maps thatcan be used to identify learning progressions [17] for engineering students to develop human-centered engineering design knowledge, skills, and mindsets.Literature has defined the value of learning progressions in K–12 science and

There is great need for sustainable development of our societies, which enables us tomeet our present needs “without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirown needs” [2]. To achieve this, many industries must make changes to manufacturing andproduction methods in order to prioritize resource efficiency and reduction of emissions andwaste, while meeting demands of an increasing consumption population.In 2015, the United Nations adopted the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, providingan ambitious plan to address global problems, including climate change, environmental health,poverty, and

The first two areas representchallenges with information gathering [9], [12], [13], whereas the last two areas representchallenges with information synthesis [16], [17].Related to planning information gathering, student teams that lack prior familiarity with theirintended stakeholders may struggle to develop a detailed plan in advance for gathering project-relevant information [18].

However, the writtenhistorical record of evidence of early humanoids' cognitive awareness of design as a formalprocess is weak, or nonexistent. Even the way we think about design, whether as a linear process,cyclical, or continuous can impact how we embody it in the world of objects, plans, devices,technology, human, or more-than-human concerns [32]. These more-than-human conceptsinclude ecological agency and systems, biocentrism, Anthropocene, non-life entities, and AI androbotic systems.The English word ‘design’ has its origin in the 1540s, meaning “to plan or outline or a scheme orplan in mind” derived from the French ‘desseign’ which
