Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XII

COLLABORATIONS IN STUDENT DESIGN EXPERIENCES

8-10 June 2023

Supported by Harvey Mudd College, this workshop brings together engineering educators, designers and researchers to articulate the relevant issues of process in engineering design education. The participants intend to identify and delineate the key intellectual and institutional issues that engineering design educators should address.
