The Praxis of Product Design in Collaboration with Engineering
This book reveals how a generative design process capitalizes on understanding humans in context to deliver appropriate innovation. A repertoire of design actions and output allows designers to work dynamically in order to create a cascade of new ideas an

Preface
This book is a culmination of more than 20 years of academic experience in teaching and advising industrial design and engineering students. I have had the fortune of holding three different tenure-track posts in public and private research universities. Each of the industrial design programs had similar curricular structures that were based on a design studio format. And at each post, the interdisciplinary collaboration between design and engineering was my personal and research interest. From this history, I have observed several key elements make significant differences in preparing young designers for an ever-changing world. Because of these experiences, I have the benefit of multiple points-of-view on how and why a particular blend of theory and practice is necessary for training future designers. The fundamental praxis of design, whether as an individual or in a team, requires a repertoire of actions and outputs so that better decisions can occur while advocating for the human in a built world. This text’s purpose is to share the unique perspective of product design education and interdisciplinary collaborations. These experiences are from a studio teaching perspec
