HCD in STEM and STEM Education

HCD in STEM and STEM Education

The purpose of research studies under this area is to:

  • Investigate the integration of HCD approaches into STEM education to enhance the learning experiences and outcomes of students.
  • Examine the impact of engaging in HCD on STEM students’ problem-solving and innovation skills.
  • Develop strategies and resources for STEM educators to integrate HCD approaches into STEM curricula and instructional practices.
