NSF Design Workshop: Driving Innovation through Design (1)
I leave for Chicago to attend a design workshop, “Driving Innovation through Design: Engineering in the 21st Century.” According to the website, goals of the workshop are as follows:
The one and an half day workshop will bring together a group of university administrators (Deans/department heads), faculty, researchers, and industrial practitioners across a variety of disciplines such as engineering, business, economics, journalism, arts and architecture, education and social policy.
The goals are (1) to reach a deeper understanding of the transdisciplinary issues faced in university and the world of design, (2) to foster interactions and facilitate dialogue by collectively sharing experiences of creating, cultivating, and sustaining successful interdisciplinary research and education programs, and (3) to seek synergistic research and educational efforts towards establishing Design as a path towards innovation and transdisciplinary cross-connection.
A wide variety of interactions are expected to take place including presentations, panel discussions, group discussions, and a design event, Design: Chicago.
