Understanding empathetic design principles in engineering courses

Abstract

Understanding empathetic design principles in engineering courses Marcia Friesen, Dean at the Price Faculty of Engineering, the University of Manitoba, Canada, explores what empathic design principles in engineering courses can look like with advanced social justice. Engineering and other design disciplines are introduced early to a well-known design cycle. Although the terms may vary, the standard design cycle iteratively moves through defining, ideating, decision-making, prototyping, testing, re-design, and communicating.
