with reading and writing HCD research papers.Our research goals were to identify challenges of integrating aspects of HCD in STEM educationand identify HCD-related learning opportunities afforded by the project topic of 3D printedprosthetics. We reflect on this capstone in order to understand best practices for integrating HCDtopics with STEM education, particularly for engineering and computer science students. Weanalyzed data collected while running the course to understand which HCD topics lendthemselves well to the project topic, the extent to which students drew on prior HCD knowledgefrom previous courses, and what kind of guidance was most effective.The contributions of this paper are 1) the design of a semi-structured capstone course

To our knowledge, there has not yet been a characterization of student help-seeking patterns using47 data about the usages of online discussion forums and office hours interactions. There are also48 differences in help-seeking behavior between students in different computing pathways (majors49 and non-majors) and how the CS course is structured (flipped or non-flipped format). The focus50 of this research is to investigate different help-seeking patterns and correlate them to the students’51 learning performance (i.e. grades), prior programming experience, and confidence in their CS52 skills.53 2 Related Work54 Increasing enrollments in CS 1 mean that more students are seeking academic help, especially55 before

This project addresses two critical aspectsof modeling related to engineering design and analysis, namely, verification and validation. Theescape room activity and outcomes are assessed using rubrics and student surveys. Results indicatethat the activity is effective at engaging students in the application of model verification andvalidation which can be carried on to other engineering projects as well as fostering EMLobjectives of curiosity, connections, and creating value.1.

Lab groups of 4 students were effective and allowed all students theability to participate in activities, but larger groups could be formed if resources were limited.As a final note, one goal at the heart of this work was to provide students with a positiveexperience and a strong foundation in the field of materials science.
