, we seek to apply and validate an assessment strategy to categorizestudents’ ways of experiencing human-centered design. We directly build on Zoltowski et al.’s[2] findings which suggest that engineering students experience human-centered design in sevencategorically discrete ways. 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. Thus, we

The most common challengesinclude underlying student resentment, student test anxiety, and the inconvenience of dealingwith student absence or sickness.6 In addition to these evident challenges of RATs, they alsolimit creative ways to retain learning. Methods to hold student’s accountable for their learningreadiness should more fully embrace the diverse ways in which students begin to construct theirunderstanding of course content.This paper presents on an integrated system of readiness assessment, whereby student-generatedpre-lecture Concept Reflections (CRs) are paired with traditional

External viewers, for example, may code video evidence or apply design metrics to adesigner’s solutions, both of which can lead to interesting statistical analyses and detailed insights.In collecting and analyzing designers’ personal reflections and perceptions, researchers oftenutilize Likert-type scales, multiple choice questions, or short open-ended prompts.
