This paperexamines how abbreviated personas can be powerful design tools for engineering students andmultidisciplinary teams by facilitating discussion on emotional design, reducing personal biasesand stereotypes, and providing a common design language for team members from differentdomains.Background and Literature ReviewAlan Cooper introduced engineers to the idea of using personas for design by presenting them asan archetypal user specifically focused on Human Computer Interface (HCI) in 1998 [6]. In aneffort to understand why supposedly useful, new technology drives us crazy and help design new“tech” products that the average person can use and enjoy, Cooper illuminated a path thatwelcomes more than software developers

By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper). The users will be able to interact with the model as if it existed outsideof the mobile application using touch interfaces. Visual information helps us to
