This course considers how culture shapes and impacts engineering, with a particular focus on the cultural aspects of gender that affect who becomes an engineer, what problems get solved, and the quality of solutions, design, technology, and products. We will examine engineering cultures and gender through the lens of ¿design thinking¿, which is an increasingly visible component of engineering education and practice. Design processes are determined by the designers, their disciplinary backgrounds, and the methods they use. How do the background characteristics of the designer affect products and development in innovation and research? Does gender matter? What about other characteristics of the designer? How can design thinking help to find sustainable solutions and also consider gender and diversity perspectives?
