A CONSORTIUM FOR GLOBAL ENGINEERING DESIGN

Abstract

How can we understand design in a global economy and prepare engineering students to play creative leadership roles? Further, what can we do through research to re-conceptualize design ideas, methods, and processes in creative ways that raises productivity and improves the lives of people throughout the world? The authors address these questions by discussing the Prestige Consortium that was established to advance global design education through the combined resources of seven universities in four countries.
