Extending HCD integration to graduate-level courses and professional developmentprograms would further reinforce these principles throughout the engineering educationcontinuum.Developing robust assessment tools is an important goal. Surveys, rubrics, and portfolio-basedevaluations could better measure the development of empathy, creativity, and problem-solvingskills in students.

Instead, they areburdened by repetitive manual computations that fail to connect with the complex,technology-driven tasks they will face in their careers. Moreover, outdated assessmentmethods, such as high-stakes exams, reinforce this disconnect, often producing medianscores below 40% and fostering frustration rather than confidence.This experimental course aims to reframe calculus education to emphasize not justtheoretical principles but their practical applications.

BackgroundIntercultural competence is an increasingly prominent skill that needs to be taught by highereducation institutions to foster global-mindedness in students [1], [2]. Intercultural competencerefers to an individual’s ability to communicate effectively and appropriately with people fromdifferent cultural backgrounds [3]. In higher education, students’ intercultural development isnow a necessary skill, whether they pursue global careers or not, because the scope of issues andwork individuals encounter today has grown on a global scale [4], [5]. Research shows that withhigher education institutes prioritizing
