backscatteredlight are very important in a detection system.2. Theory of reflectance optical detection systemThe physical requirement necessary for an optical system in order to detect multiple numbers ofchromopores is to have light sources of specific wavelength with different absoptivity pattern.The light attenuation between the source and the detector can be written as follows: ⎛I ⎞ − log10 ⎜ out ⎟ = ODλ ⎜I ⎟ (1) ⎝ in ⎠where I in is the incident light, I out is the detected light, and ODλ is the optical density forwavelength λ . Optical density is a function of absorption ( Aλ ) and scattering ( S λ

Guided by this prior study, we seek to address the research question,“To what extent can we use post-course open-ended written reflection data to identifyengineering students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design?” The use of reflection datato categorize students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design is unique from othermethods that have extended Zoltowski et al.’s work but may offer a more accessible assessmentmodality for design instructors.
