Methodologies for Teaching Product Design

This session seeks papers that explore current approaches and new methodologies for teaching product design. Some of these methodologies may highlight some basic design strategies that are common to both product and process design. Others may demonstrate how teaching of product design can help us meet other educational objectives such as those involving interdisciplinary teams, creativity, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. Where possible, we would like to explore opportunities to transform the curriculum to better equip our students to be effective practitioners in designing innovative new products. Papers from both practitioners and educators are encouraged.
