young inits own right. Aptly named, HCD is an empathic approach to solving complex problems thatfocuses on identifying the direct needs of the end-user or stakeholder and employing acollaborative and iterative design process to achieve a customized solution [1]. This is a differentapproach than the more traditional design methods typically taught in undergraduate engineeringcourses, which focus on process efficiency and product optimization [2]. Empathy is recognizedas an important element of students’ emotional engagement [3], both with their design task andtheir teammates. Furthermore, the development of empathy is necessary for promoting emotionalintelligence [4], making HCD valuable for students’ personal development. To effectivelyprepare

engagement among learners.IntroductionIn recent years, technological advancements have significantly impacted how we learn, withmany K-12 education programs incorporating a hands-on, constructivist approach to teachingand learning [1]–[3]. However, as students transition to undergraduate programs, there isoften a lack of continuity in the teaching methods used, leading to challenges inunderstanding and applying the lessons taught, aside from continuing in the discipline.Therefore, there is a need to seek out a teaching methodology that can stimulate themotivation of learners and further learners’ zeal in the chosen field.Experiment-centric pedagogy (ECP) is a hands-on learner-centered teaching technique thatemploys inexpensive, portable instruments

In addition, the perceivedaccessibility is confirmed to be uniquely useful for understanding the needs of SWD, and thusdeserves more attention to help them succeed.IntroductionThe accessibility of course content plays a critical role in student success. Students withdisabilities (SWD) face extra challenges when digital content is inaccessible or difficult to use.This is a significant challenge for many students that instructors are often unaware of; nationalstatistics by the NSF and NCES report [1] 19% of the 4-year undergraduate population have adisability, but according to a Wisconsin research study [2] the majority (75%) of

Furthermore, students in high-poverty populations score significantly worse onmathematics and science assessments in 4th and 8th grade, and classroom teachers with lessexperience in STEM are more prevalent at schools with high-minority or high-povertypopulations [1].
