Overview

Description

The Engineering Design and Innovation students at Northwestern University are engineers who like to create new things, are comfortable with problems that are hard to pin down, and care about culture and contemporary context. At EDI, we introduce you to design thinking, a process of user observation, visualization, rapid prototyping, and iteration.

Our mission is to educate the next generation of synthetic thinkers and leaders — people who are able to move across domains and industries, identify convergences, and create impact through the lens of human-centered design. These thinkers are not generalists, but specialists of a different sort. They take a unified approach to solving problems, drawing on skills from engineering, social sciences, design, and management theory.

The EDI program seeks engineers who thrive on creating new things and are comfortable with problems that are hard to pin down.

Although most EDI students enter the program with a BS degree in engineering or a related field, students with other academic backgrounds and work experience may be considered.
