Knowledge of the construction of a shearwall provides the student with a deeper appreciation for all the working pieces that comprise thisstructural element. It also aids in their future structural engineering careers in their ability todesign walls and develop creative solutions to non-standard situations.

This definition ofhuman-centered design emphasizes the need to obtain a deep understanding of stakeholdersduring design. Interacting with stakeholders during design facilitates more informed designdecisions and leads to products that are adapted to specific contexts of use.A critical time in which stakeholder interaction plays a major role is during the front-end designphases of problem definition, requirements elicitation, and engineering specificationsdevelopment11–13.

As the two disciplines greatlydiffer in which portion of the project they specialize in, the overlap is crucial to facilitate furthercommunication.
