Many in the engineering community recognize the need for developingengineering skill sets that address societal impacts within the design process. Not only shouldengineers be aware of the potential negative consequences of their designs, but they should alsoseek opportunities to create value and benefits for under-served populations.The body of research on social justice in engineering design is well documented [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Inparticular, human-centered design has emerged as a favored approach for students to approach thedesign process in capstone courses[7, 8, 9, 10].

Dr. Exter’s research aims to provide recommendations to improve or enhance university-level design and technology programs (such as Instructional Design, Computer Science, and Engineering). Some of her previous research has focused on software designers’ formal and non-formal educational experiences and use of precedent materials, and experienced instructional designers’ beliefs about design character. These studies have highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary skills and student engagement in large-scale, real-world projects.
