Course Overview
Engineering challenges today require more than technical expertise — they demand creativity, empathy, and user-centered design approaches. This Design Thinking and Innovation in Engineering Training Course introduces participants to structured innovation methods that combine design thinking with engineering processes.
The course covers the five phases of design thinking — empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test — while exploring applications in engineering, product development, and systems design. Through hands-on workshops and case studies, participants will learn how to foster creativity, collaborate effectively, and turn innovative ideas into practical engineering solutions.
By the end of the program, attendees will be able to embed design thinking into their engineering practice, creating solutions that balance functionality, sustainability, and user needs.
