STU 1232: Collaborative Design Engineering Studio II
A required first year course for the joint SEAS-GSD MDE degree.   The spring studio builds upon theoretical and technical concepts already introduced in the MDE program with the emphasis on creative and critical thinking, observational and experimentation-based evaluation, and context-aware communication strategies essential for complex problem-solving activities, with a design and engineering focus.   Themes change annually. In the years I have taught this course, themes have included:  2020: Waste;  2021: Telepresence,  2022: Energy, Carbon and Society

The Independent Design Engineering Project (IDEP) is a two-semester project during which students in the Master in Design Engineering (MDE) program work on understanding a concise, real-world problem and develop a prototypical solution. Methodologically a continuation of the MDE first-year studio, each student frames a complex problem and engages with stakeholders in order to understand its multi-scalar, multidisciplinary aspects. Work on a solution involves a combination of analytical and visualization skills, technical skills, and design methods, culminating in the development, prototyping...
