INTRODUCTIONPromoting undergraduate students’ persistence in the Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) fields is critical for meeting national calls to strengthen the future STEMworkforce. National data has shown that of all students who enter a STEM degree program, lessthan 40% earn a STEM degree within six years [1]. Calls have been made to produce anadditional one million STEM professionals to maintain the countries’ relevance in these fields,thus an annual increase in the number of students who graduate with a STEM degree is requiredto meet this demand [1]. These calls also emphasize the need to increase

Early on, it became evident that providing clear and consistentcommunication regarding roles and responsibilities was essential to ensuring students’ positiveexperience with the course. To address this, the course faculty introduced several interventionsinto the structure of the course to help improve team dynamics such as communication and workdelineation. A more thorough explanation of the design of this structure can be found in [1].These elements are intended, like scaffolding, to reside adjacent to the coursework but to supportstudents in understanding and navigating challenges should they arise [2,22,23

One example constraint within this ABET definition is usability [1]. A relatedconcept to usability is empathy. Empathy can strengthen the design process, inspiring engineersto create products that are easy to use.In this study, we examine the use of human-centered design in an open-ended first-year designproject to increase student engagement and empathy.

Traditional approaches to design verification includesimulation, where validation engineers create a test bench environment and develop test casesand checkers to monitor the behavior of the design. This presents several problems, includingthe long time taken to create the test bench infrastructure, long runtimes, and always posing thequestion of how many test cases would be enough to validate the design thoroughly.
