Abstract: "This paper summarizes and highlights the presentations and discussions that took place during a workshop on engineering and design education in a flat world. Mudd Design Workshop VI (MDW VI) was held at Harvey Mudd College in May 2007, and supported by Mudd's Center for Design Education. This article endeavours to capture the spirit of the participating engineers and designers who worked to identify and articulate important flat world issues in design and engineering education, as viewed in their everyday roles as educators, researchers and practitioners." |

Conclusions: "In the continuing spirit of having the Mudd Design Workshops be more than a forum for pleasant discussion, the MDW VI participants were given one last assignment at the final luncheon Each attendee was asked to identify `what I like . . . and what I wish . . . about my teaching'. The responses of those there, as captured in real time by Jonathan Hey and Patrick Little, were as listed in Table 1. These lists of aspirations, of likes and of wishes, represent the inspiration expressed by the participants in Mudd Workshop VI as they got ready to go back to their jobs and face the very themes, issues and paradoxes to which they had been exposed over these three highly interactive days." |
