Representations of people are notalways necessary in design, but their presence may encourage attention to specific elements ofhuman-centered design; for example, if a sketch does not include a person, there is no visualexplanation offered for how a user might physically engage with a product, potentially hinderingfurther design development or communication. Further research is needed to examine the roles ofthe qualities of representations on design outcomes.While students showed a range of ways (such as gendered and self-referential terms) to describepeople during their design

Each EiE curriculum unit is designed to build on and reinforce one sciencetopic through the exploration and development of a related technology.

This approach emphasizes declarativeknowledge rather than procedural knowledge.1 A lecture style format also frequently leads toreductions in student attention and engagement, which results in lower attendance (between 50 to65 percent) and information retention (typically about 10%).2 This means that students are notmotivated to come to class nor are they retaining information from classrooms that
