— Engineering Education Community
Engineering design is a systematic, intelligent process in which designers generate, evaluate, and specify concepts for devices, systems, or processes whose form and function achieve clients' objectives or users' needs while satisfying a specified set of constraints.

Design thinking highlights skills often associated with good designers, namely the ability to:
tolerate ambiguity that shows up in viewing design as inquiry or as an iterative loop of divergent-convergent thinking;
maintain sight of the big picture by including systems thinking and systems design;
handle uncertainty;
make decisions;
think as part of a team in a social process; and
think and communicate in the several languages of design.
