  Why this module?

  This module is about acquiring design capabilities. With these capabilities, you can influence engineering solutions to better contribute to societal challenges. We will also begin to explore which other capabilities you might need to acquire to become a more effective and impactful engineer.

  What sessions do we offer?

  1. 'Lecture Week 3. Framing': Becoming more competent in framing problems so that we can rapidly come up with multiple solution directions. (Friday 1 October)
  2. 'Lecture Week 4. Ideating': Enhancing your familiarity with ideation tools and getting comfortable with exploring various design directions. (Friday 8 October)
  3. 'Lecture Week 5. Prototyping and testing': Understanding the reasons to prototype, practising making your ideas tangible and conducting a rapid test. (Friday 15 October)
  4. 'Lecture Week 6. Formulating next steps': Being able to interpret insights from tests, and sharing early learnings and experiences effectively. (Friday 22 October)
