The Connection between Solutions & Impact.

Engineering is more than problem solving. It’s about understanding social complexity. Social context. Social responsibility. Feel inspired to create solutions that are both innovative and connected to the communities where people live, work, and play.

RESEARCH

The Center for Socially Engaged Engineering & Design (C-SED) uses research to evaluate and inform corresponding principles and methodologies. In doing so, we create a body of research that collectively defines a new standard of quality for the design and analysis of evidence-based best practices to include end-users and society in design processes. C-SED researchers apply socially engaged design practices in their own fields of specialization.
