Design Engineering (AB)

About this programme

Design Engineering (DE) teaches students to understand not just the how and what, but the why and why not behind the creation of technologically enabled products, services and systems. Methodologies, frameworks and analytical tools to evaluate strategic and systemic implications and consequences of these products, services and systems are considered. DE prepares students to (a) effectively apply engineering principles and quantitative analysis to make design decisions, (b) utilize complementary and conflicting principles from domains other than engineering in design decisions, (c) adeptly apply systemic principles to show interactions within and between systems, and (d) achieve fluency in human-centered and systems design processes and principles to analyze and synthesize responses to complex real-world problems.
