Bridging Design Gaps – Defining The Framework

by Niki Kennedy

In my last post, I discussed my questionably-great revelation about how engineers and physicians both seem to have similar frameworks for problem-solving.  I described my internet search for different problem-solving models and my subsequent inability to tell them apart when I failed to label them as “engineering” solutions versus “medical” solutions—a lucky misstep, as it … Continue reading Bridging Design Gaps – Defining The Framework
