Assessing the impact of service-learning on first-year engineering students´ understanding of human-centered design

This paper represents an update of a three stage research project that culminates in investigating the impact of the service-learning pedagogy on students understanding of human-centered design. The first two stages of the project were disseminated in previously published papers where we discussed the discovery of distinct ways in which students experience human-centered design, along with another published paper discussing the development of an assessment task that would expose and capture students´ understanding of human-centered design.
