MEE 382 - Design Thinking


A semester-long process of applying Design Thinking to come up with solutions to so-called “wicked problems” that are open ended and often ill defined. The process consists of formal steps and techniques to understand and empathize with users’ perspectives; to produce a coherent vision out of messy problems; to generate a wide variety of possible solutions; and to develop low fidelity prototypes to be tested and evaluated. Brings together student innovators with varied backgrounds and viewpoints, enabling breakthrough insights and solutions to emerge from the diversity.
