Abstract

g changing societal needs and demands of industry. The paper presents the overall programme structure, consisting of three main focus streams — the engineering design core, three academic specializations (Product-Service Systems Design, Data-Driven Design, and Simulation-Driven Design), and the practical application profiling. Based on our experience of developing the overall programme structure, we offer recommendations for developing new programmes.

Keywords: design education, product development, design thinking, wicked problems, t-shaped engineers
