The integration was guided by anevidence-based human-centered engineering design (HCED) framework that merges the HCDprocesses with the engineering design processes and lists a set of practices that students canimplement within the context of a design project [11]. These processes are understanding thechallenge, building knowledge, weighing options and making decisions, generating ideas,prototyping, reflecting, and revising/iterating. Research studies indicate that learning about theseprocesses and implementing them in the context of a design

and AttitudesAbstractFeedback is a key element in the development of students’ understanding and evolution in theirlearning process. Students receive feedback in so many forms including peer feedback, instructorfeedback and external feedback from employers or other industries. For this feedback to bevaluable, students need to appreciate it, act on it, and consider it as part of the learning process.The literature shows that there is a discrepancy between instructors’ objectives for feedback andstudents’ perception of the effectiveness of feedback to improve learning. Mostly, students tendto focus on grades rather than reflect on the feedback and take actions to improve their learning.Even when instructors give detailed personalized comments
