Product Design and Innovation: A New Curriculum Combining the Humanities and Engineering Gary A. Gabriele, Larry Kagan, Frances Bronet, David Hess, Ron Eglash, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY 12180ABSTRACTSuccessful competition in the global economy is increasingly dependent on a stream of newproducts and services that will open up new business possibilities. At the same time it isincreasingly evident that new products and services must be regarded not only as commodities ina marketplace, but also as social actors which can constrain or enable the quality of our life. Inrecognition of these two perspectives, Product Design and
