impact on theuser-centric design.SummaryThe paper explains the procedure to create actionfunction diagrams for user centric design ofproducts. Some of the advantages of actionfunction diagrams are focusing closely on product anduser interaction, highlighting those functions of a product in which the user is involved, andallowing for analysis of user-product interaction in the early design stages.This method can be introduced in an engineering design curriculum for user-focused design. The Page 25.355.14aim of this paper is to educate the design community and engineering educators about theimportance of user modeling and the available methods to

This can be facilitated through aninterdisciplinary degree program specifically designed to allow students to study in multipledisciplines (perhaps across colleges) and by faculty that run those interdisciplinary classes, as wellas by conducting research with colleagues in different disciplines.The National Science Foundation defines convergence as the “deep integration of knowledge,techniques, and expertise from multiple fields to form new and expanded frameworks foraddressing scientific and societal challenges and opportunities.” (National Science Foundation).5Though not new, the idea

With expectations of not only competency but acompetitive urgency to innovate, the demands on the new engineer are multiple. While it isrecognized that design and innovation are key areas for growth and development withinengineering education, it remains difficult to integrate open-ended learning into what is alreadyan overly dense, hugely broad, introductory package of courses [1].

In response to increasing space and time constraints, faculty are findingways to integrate teaching and research. This paper seeks to provide an integrated model foruniversity activities, one in which both students and researchers benefit from research, teachingand extracurricular activities.A primary argumentative model, termed the scarcity model3, claims that research and teachingare in conflict due to time, energy, and commitment. Time, according to a meta-analysis byHattie and Marsh3, may not be as influential as commonly thought. The data indicate that there isnot a one-to-one replacement of teaching and research time.

An important part of the learning process was the “peerevaluation”, in which students graded each other's work and calibrated their own performance. Afew students chose not to write one or both articles. In some cases plagiarism was an issue, eitherbecause students were ill-prepared to write a technical article in English, they did not understandissues of academic integrity and ownership of intellectual capital, or simply because they did notallow themselves the time to complete the assignment and thus, resorted to copying at the lastminute.

-Centered Design has risen to prominence as an approach that enables designers toclearly understand the unmet needs for which they are designing and to develop solutions thataddress these directly [2], [19], [20]. Despite this popularity and utility, human-centeredconsideration faces resistance in engineering spaces which often seem to prefer quantitative, ratherthan qualitative objectives. By integrating engineering experiential learning (e.g. manufacturinglabs, product dissection) with human-centered design practices (e.g. empathizing withstakeholders, using narrative methods to share ideas and get feedback) students can develop skillsthat expand on those gained from traditional engineering problem sets, and more closely resemblereal-world

(Tversky & Kahneman, 1975). In other words,while expert intuition may allow for elegant decision-making, an abundance of experimentalpsychology and social science research provides thorough evidence that intuitive reasoning mayutilize cognitive biases such as anchoring bias, availability bias, and implicit bias. The use oftools and formal processes can reduce the impact of these biases, but they are inherent to humancognition. Burke & Miller (1999) posit that decision-makers need to iterate between intuitiveand rational strategies for effective decision making.Working from the assumption that intuitive reasoning can and should be integrated intoengineering education (per argument presented above), this work provides a baseline of
