Design Thinking Practical approach for problem solving

Design Thinking (DT) is the professional practice which provides a solution-based approach to solving mechanical problems. It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown, by understanding the human needs involved, by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways, by creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and by adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing.

Course highlights
