Design Centered Mechanical Engineering Graduate Programs?

Submitted by Gus Engstrom on

I would like to pursue graduate study in thefield of mechanical engineering design. I am familiar with Stanford's JointProgram in Design which emphasizes Human-Centered Design, Design Creativity,and Desirability along with standard graduate engineering subject matter. Ihave not however been able to locate other graduate schools which emphasizedesign methodology in such a way. I would be very interested if anyone hasknowledge of schools who teach similar design centered graduate programs.

Cambridge University's Engineering Design Centre is one option, they are very much world-leading in this area.  http://www-edc.eng.cam.ac.uk/

Since it's the UK there's less of an emphasis on "taught courses" and more of an emphasis on research, so it's not a graduate program per se but would be a good place to pursue a design-related graduate degree.
