Synthetic biology aims to apply engineering principles and the design process to create biological systems with new and desired functionalities 1. While it is seen by many as a young field that ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

The benefits of using simulation early and often in the product development process are clear. You can verify requirements and begin studying and exploring design alternatives before prototyping and ...

Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin was an engineer whose self-named company made the first successful rigid airship. The path from his inspiration during a balloon trip in Minnesota in ...

Human researchers engineer biological systems through the discovery-driven process of hypothesis generation, designing experiments to test hypotheses, performing these experiments in a wet laboratory, ...

"Learning is one of the most personal things that people do; engineering provides problem-solving methods to enable learning at scale. How do we resolve this paradox?" —Ellen Wagner Learning ...

To identify the information technologies required for a computer-aided system to support materials selection, the committee articulated a future vision of a full-function Computer-Aided Materials ...

Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Tahira Reid leads a lab focused on human-centered design. Over her career, she’s gone outside the “traditional engineering box” and integrated compassion ...

Engineering Design Tools, a first-year course, is an example of how RIT’s most applied programs have managed to keep learning as close to hands-on as possible in the age of COVID-19. Mechanical ...

Senior Design is an engineering capstone design experience organized by Design Center Colorado (DCC) and completed by all mechanical engineering undergraduate students in their final year of study.

Human-centered design offers a more holistic and people-driven approach to problem-solving and product development. Here’s why this hands-on method has continued to be popular among inventors and ...
