The Design Group's philosophy combines an emphasis on creativity, technology and design methodology with a concern for human values and the needs of society. The group's varied interests are reflected in the following areas of teaching and research:
- controls
- design for manufacturability & quality
- design theory & methodology
- dynamics
- engineering creativity
- experimental stress analysis
- fatigue and fracture mechanics
- finite element analysis
- human-machine interfaces
- kinematics
- life-cycle engineering
- machine design
- manufacturing technology
- microcomputer-based systems
- organizational innovation
- rapid prototyping
- robotics
- robust design optimization
- teleoperation
Diversity, one of the Design group's strengths, is required to maintain a leadership position in the rapidly changing world of design and manufacturing.
