Designing Meaningful Things

This lecture emphasizes the importance of engineers and scientists in society, highlighting the different approaches needed to tackle various types of problems. It introduces the concept of human-sensuit design, focusing on understanding human behavior and needs to create solutions that are not only technically sound but also desirable, viable, and sustainable. The lecture outlines four key principles of human-sensuit design and a three-step design process involving research, ideation, and prototyping, stressing the iterative nature of design and the need for continuous refinement to ensure solutions effectively address people's needs.
