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.
