Thinking and Engineering

How do you imagine your world? Students will engage in a Human-Centered Design approach while building, testing, and exploring solutions for human-related problems. They will participate in all stages of the engineering design process. Individuals will experience how the stages generate innovation and creativity and how they secure sound decision-making that involves consideration of constraints and limitations. Students will develop the skill of gaining empathy for the users they design solutions for. Additionally, through reverse engineering, use of failure as information and data, and practice in spatial skill development all students will access the effective thinking of an engineer and establish a foundation for diverse thinking and problem-solving in order to proactively reimagine and develop their own solution-oriented world.
