As a more recently established engineering program, human centered design & engineering (HCDE) may fly under the radar in comparison to the larger and longer-standing engineering departments at UW.

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

It is important that engineers document the design process so that they can communicate it to others and ensure no information is lost. It is also critical for convincing decision-makers to approve ...

Customers have been frustrated, injured and even killed by confusing instructions, unclear operating procedures and poorly designed controls. In some cases, these interfaces and instructions were ...

A field-tested approach to resolving design ambiguities before structural pours — based on real site coordination ...

Civil engineering and landscape design are often discussed as separate disciplines, but the most successful projects show how closely they depend on one another. Civil engineering provides the ...

The essence of mechanical engineering is problem solving. MEs combine creativity, knowledge and analytical tools to complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality. Mechanical engineering ...
