ME 597: Design Sprints for Complex Engineering Problems and Sociotechnical Systems
Can drones deliver human organs?
Should A.I. be used in law enforcement?
Many complex social issues are actually engineering issues, and many engineering issues are actually social issues. In this class, you’ll do a focused design sprint on these topics, using design process methods to bring clarity to systems that are complex.
