At Stevens, our close ties to industry and our technology emphasis enable us to work closely with industry to create curricular offerings that reflect the demands of the business world.

To better demonstrate our value proposition, I encourage you to join us for a short webinar on a topic I think you’ll find especially interesting.

Human-centered Design Thinking

Human Centered Design thinking is a unique form of inquiry, which goes well beyond product and service design. These concepts and methods have wide applicability as they can be used to design organizations of people, information structures, compensation systems as well as the entire consumer experience. Applying these approaches often creates entirely new systems that are more useful and usable. The logic of this approach can often be used to solve “wicked problems” which have deified previous solutions. This webinar will provide of the graduate course taught on this subject.
