Through the Human Centered Design & Engineering Community Affiliate Partner Program, students work with with nonprofit and community partners on projects by applying human-centered design methods.
One of HCDE’s strategic goals is to advance and sustain diversity and equity across our work and communities. This means that we are committed to further developing diversity, equity, and inclusion practices across our outreach and teaching.
Through the HCDE Community Affiliate Partner Program, HCDE students work on socially beneficial projects and give back to the community by helping our partners engage in human centered design. Types of projects include prototyping a part of a website or technology interface, evaluating the usability of a website, or applying design thinking to solve an organizational challenge (such as volunteer communication).
