This paperinvestigates the ongoing work of restructuring a traditional one-semester, 3-credit springcapstone experience in materials science and engineering into a two-semester fall (1-credit) andspring (2-credit) experience. During the restructuring of the capstone experience, the Human-Centered Design (HCD) framework, a method to formalize the design process in discrete stages,was integrated into the course content. Due to course catalog constraints, a 1-credit fall coursewas piloted in Fall 2022 as an elective for seniors (enrollment was approximately 30% of thesenior population); the traditional 3-credit course was still required of all seniors in Spring 2023.Aspects of HCD were

The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in critical thinking skills of students have been achievedthrough this sequence. An integrated thinking approach is adopted by Katz [3] to bridge the educational gapbetween analytical and design thinking for mechanical engineering students. The suggestedapproach is implemented by reforming science engineering courses by stressing the

Such classroom activities weredesigned following the details given in the previous section. Note that, the students do a lot ofwork inside the classroom since the number of worksheets and quizzes is clearly above thosetypically assigned in a traditional lecturing course.

pivotal role this subject plays instrengthening an important pathway toward academic progress for our students [2,3]. In a studypublished in 2012 from a large urban school district in the central part of the US, 87% ofstudents who scored a D or better in their first algebra course graduated from high school, while70% of students who failed the first Algebra I course they took dropped out [1]. Passing AlgebraI is especially challenging for underrepresented minoritized students and contributes to lowerlevels of mathematics achievement [4]. Many studies also report that fewer minority studentstake algebra in 8th grade and that taking algebra in 9th grade or later hinders students’ enrollmentin advanced mathematics and science classes [3].
