Its broad, unspecialized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/engineering\/curriculum\/courses\/\">engineering curriculum<\/a> maintains a strong emphasis on design\u2014from students\u2019 first year through engineering majors\u2019 Clinic project\u2014and strongly emphasizes a hands-on approach to \u201creal world\u201d problems. The Center for Design Education (CED) is a logical outgrowth of the ethos of the Harvey Mudd approach to engineering education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CED organizes a series of biennialworkshopson topics of interest to design teachers, researchers, practitioners and engineering educators. The center also works to propagate and disseminate values of design in engineering education by involving students in design-related summer research projects and supporting the College\u2019s educational engineering programs and facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Center for Design Education, created in 1995, evolved quite naturally from its founding organization, Harvey Mudd College\u2019s Engineering Design Center. The design center was first envisioned as an integrated network of computing facilities and laboratories that would support the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/engineering\/\">Department of Engineering<\/a>&#8216;s multidisciplinary program and enhance its emphasis on engineering design. This vision was later broadened\u2014and dedicated as the Center for Design Education\u2014to include programmatic activities focusing on design education and related design and pedagogical research. The new center set about advocating the centrality of <a title=\"HMC Design Courses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/academics\/interdisciplinary-centers\/center-for-design-education\/hmc-design-courses\/\">design in engineering education<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Design is the distinguishing mark of engineering. \u2014 Herbert A.
