Design Thinking is a method for the practical and creative resolution of problems through design with a comprehensive understanding of stakeholders, users, or customers. There has been significant coverage in the literature on this method, much in connection to Stanford’s d.school. This widely adopted method has direct application in engineering. Through this breakout, participants will learn some of the core concepts of design thinking and available resources. Participants will discuss how to leverage the overlap of design thinking and entrepreneurial mindset.
