Promoting the design aspect of engineering beyond the field Design is an integral part of engineering, but its utility extends far beyond the engineering function. Advanced design skills are more than just form and function — they lend a different perspective and a highly productive approach to problem-solving. Integrating Design Education Beyond 2000 shows how design education benefits a broad variety of fields, and how design professionals from all industries can come together to share information, successful practices, and innovative ideas.
