​

Professor Many will discuss the increasing importance of design in an increasingly globalized world. We are witnessing the coming together of disparite physical and digital worlds, leading to unusual challenges. Teams can meet these challenges by implementing design in the preliminary stages of a project and by nourishing design, creativity, and out-of-the-box thinking through multidisciplinary teams. Such teams can include designers, engineers, and experts from the academic as well as the business fields. Conceptual understanding of design serves as a catalyst for stimulating ideas, a catalyst that works in every direction.
