ENGINEERING DESIGN:
what can we learn from designing concept cars?


Tuesday, 15th of March 2005 - 8h45-17h00

Venue: IST Design Studio, Lisboa


Workshop Presentation and Objectives:

The workshop is aimed to bring together post-grad students, researchers and experts involved in engineering design to discuss new concepts and design processes, which require new competences for innovation. Recently designed concept cars will be used to illustrate emerging trends in engineering design and the development of complex products and systems.
