MDW XIII, 2023
Collaborations in Student Design Experiences:
Cross-Disciplinary, Cross-Institutional, Community, and Industry Partnerships
June 8 – 10, 2023
Analysis + design + testing + prototyping
Welcome to the official website of the Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop. This site is dedicated to the growth of the online community of scholars who have attended workshops in the past and/or will attend workshops in the future.
VISION FOR MDW 2023
Fifty to seventy-five engineers, designers, and educators will gather to discuss and share approaches for sketching, drafting, prototyping, and producing artefacts in design related courses and activities, including industrial and entrepreneurial efforts. Prototypes are used for a variety of purposes throughout design processes, including communication, testing, exploring ideas, etc. Appropriate levels of prototyping at all phases of a design process are critical to a good design process and outcomes. Training on use of and selection of the most appropriate means of prototyping and descriptive communication for sharing, learning, exploring, and production are needed for educationally and industrially driven projects. Especially noteworthy is that the increase in distance learning and remote work may reduce access to equipment and staff as well as the informal interactions that improve the product and learning or working environment. We will explore the role of artifact exploration, description, development, and realization throughout the different phases of the design processes and explore how these can be leveraged to improve outcome and process.
In January 2012, Professor Clive L. Dym and his Emeriti Harvey Mudd colleagues M. Mack Gilkeson and J. Richard Phillips were awarded the NAE’s prestigious Bernard M. Gordon Prize, in part, for the Mudd Design Workshops.
