As the world becomes increasingly challenged by complex issues, the Faculty of Engineering has defined a new paradigm in education. An alternative learning pathway, the Design-Centric Programme (DCP) was launched in 2009. Going forward in 2016, the DCP was enhanced with a dose of innovation and enterprise via the Innovation and Design Programme (iDP). The iDP gives students a broader scope to realize and capture value from their ideas. Through the design process, students learn to create solutions from multi-disciplinary perspectives. They are encouraged to challenge current assumptions of how people interact with products and to critically evaluate the ability of current products and services to serve the needs of people. Students adopt a user-centred approach to understand, visualise and describe users in the context of how people live, work and play. iDP will take students further by allowing them to explore and plan business start-ups. We welcome partners to work with our multidisciplinary student groups to apply design thinking to problem statements.
