at the McCORMICK SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Join us for the Design Thinking and Communication (DTC) Expo, a showcase dedicated to celebrating the work of DTC student teams throughout the past quarter. During the expo, student teams will showcase their innovative prototypes, addressing complex challenges posed by community project partners. Their presentations will provide insight into the application of a human-centered design mindset, problem-solving processes, and communication skills cultivated through the DTC program.

DTC is a course taken by all first-year Northwestern Engineering students that combines design thinking with professional communication, uniting Northwestern students and community members to tackle complex challenges through design projects. DTC is co-taught by faculty at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences Cook Family Writing Program.
