and improve student-centered classroom practices. This paper provides a summary of preliminary feedback fromfaculty and insights from early adopters in the field of engineering.IntroductionEngineering education has steadily improved for many years as faculty slowly adopt evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs). Training programs like the National Engineering TrainingInstitute (NETI) have fostered a generation of faculty that understands the merits of improvedinstruction [1]. The documentation that these methods improve student engagement and retentionin engineering and science is vast [2]–[4].As awareness of evidence-based practices increased, pedagogical reformers hoped thatengineering instructors would adopt and use new practices

The rationale is threefold: (1) the natureof our hands-on teaching philosophy, (2) the advent and relevance of SMRs and need of trainedworkforce, and (3) the ongoing need of engineering programs to be submerged in active interactionswith local industry as well as provide our engineering students with real-world experience.Introduction According to the Virginia Nuclear Energy

It is of value for the success in engineering and othertechnical fields. In engineering, for instance, engineers utilize spatial skills when designing partsof a machine; they must understand functions and interaction of the parts from multipleperspectives while integrating the parts among a variety of other components in an assembly 2 .

This voltage is then increased inorder to transmit the power from the generation site to the distribution site. At the distributionlevel, the voltage is again reduced for the consumers.

The paper concludes with guidelines on howto modify the activity for future implementations in the course.What is Human-Centered Design? Human-Centered Design (HCD) is an interdisciplinary, problem solving approach thatidentifies the unmet needs of a population in order to collaboratively develop solutions. Thisapproach puts humans in the center of the design process and seeks to understand them, collaboratewith them, and involve them in the design process in order to make products or services useful,usable, and desirable [1]. To do so, human-centered design involves the implementation
