According to Tim Brown,CEO and president of IDEO, in order for engineering graduates to make an impact in the globalworkforce, they must develop “design thinking”. Brown5 defines “design thinking” as: a methodology that imbues the full spectrum of innovation activities with a human- centered design ethos. By this I mean that innovation is powered by a thorough understanding, through direct observation, of what people want and need in their lives and what they like or dislike about the way particular products are made, packaged, marketed, sold, and supported.
