Beginning with Category 3, "User as Information Source Input to LinearProcess," the categories become hierarchically related, wherein each more ‘comprehensive’category includes and builds on the design behaviors and attitudes of preceding categories [2].Figure 1 shows the hierarchical relationship between these categories.Category 7, "Empathic Design," describes the most holistic way of experiencing human-centereddesign [2]. According to Zoltowski et al., empathic design is characterized by a deep connectionbetween the designer and the user that extends "beyond scope of the project" and into a deepcontextual awareness of elements that affect the user (e.g

According to Paretti et. al, capstone designcourses serve as critical preparation, providing students with confidence to learn new things andstrategies for building new knowledge. The courses provide authentic industry experiencesthrough open-ended projects that place students out of their comfort zone. And requiring studentsto seek and connect with subject matter experts supports this notion. Through capstone design,students assimilate the knowledge they have gained in education, and use skills in a setting thatrequires professional attitudes and behaviors.

When STEM educationintersects with social issues, a unique connection to individual’s communities and greater societalconcerns develops. For students, they become catalysts for social change by being empowered to bridgephysical and social sciences (Weinberg et al, 2018). For teachers and mentors, integrating social changeinto education combines inquiry with collaborative-based learning, experiment-based learning, andreal-world based learning to enhance students' knowledge and creativity (Nguyen et al, 2020).National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REUs) is one model of suchprograms.

graphics has been at the heart of engineering curriculum. Until recently, in mostschools, it was the only "engineering" course taught in the freshmen year. Traditionally, thecourse has been structured around the orthographic projections. Along with the evolution ofcomputers, the course content moved from pure manual drawing to a combination of manualdrawing and computer aided drawing using 2D CAD packages, such as AutoCAD. This shiftfrom manual drawing to 2D CAD packages was relatively minor, in academic terms, asunderlying philosophy, i.e. the orthographic projections, is the same. Students learned a few newtechniques such as pattern and mirror. These techniques accelerated the drawing process andhave NOT changed the design process. Note that
