COURSE EFFECTIVENESS AND INFLUENCE

Using Questionnaires and Interviews to study

Multidisciplinary Collaboration

Foster the abilities to communicate and solve problems with people from different backgrounds

Learn to accept different ideas and concepts from different backgrounds

Increase Maturity of the Final Product Increase Domain Knowledge

Engineers learn design conceptsDesigners learn engineer concepts

Technological Innovation

Participants learn how to apply current technology, not research new technology

Design Prototyping

Realize Creative Ideas not just dream of them

Scenario

Help the Communication between Designers and Engineers

Foster User-oriented Design and Innovation Abilities

User-Oriented Design

Help designers and engineers put themselves into other’s shoes

Course Effectiveness

DesignersUnderstand how to apply technology Increase the technology maturity of products
