Session Description

This session covers the development of human-centered engineering as a discipline, methods for teaching figure sketching, diary frameworks for empathy, cognitive load in problem representation, and stakeholder-centered design projects. Using literature reviews, classroom pilots, and neurocognitive analysis, the work considers how instructional artifacts shape student interpretation of design challenges. It focuses on movement from technical implementation toward social responsibility and user consideration, with attention to how students visualize and empathize with users.
