Integrating Human-Centered Approaches into Engineering Classrooms

Faculty and Teaching Assistants Support

We partner with the Grainger College of Engineering (GCOE) to advance two of the college’s core goals: building leaders with the skills, know-how, and aptitude to tackle 21st-century challenges and driving innovation in engineering education.

We support faculty and teaching assistants by providing research-supported instructional tools that foster the integration of Human-Centered Design practices in engineering courses and prepare students to lead in a rapidly changing world.
