Mechanical Engineering
Human Centered Design
Human-Centered Design is a process aimed at devising solutions based on people’s needs. HCD’s foundation is Design Research, an approach that emphasizes primary, contextual research including interviews, observations, and adapted ethnographic methods. The foundation of this fast-paced, project-based course is supported by two core pillars: empathy for the user and rapid prototyping to express possible solutions quickly.
