Course Development

In collaboration with Prof. Aman Yadav from Michigan State University, Professor Martini developed a new course at UC Merced called "Design Thinking", with the support of a grant from the National Science Foundation. The purpose of the new course is to help students transition from classroom- and lab-based learning to engineering capstone design and ultimately to their careers in engineering fields. The approach taken was to use case studies as a way to learn and practice design thinking. Some of the case studies and case study worksheet developed for this course are available below.
  • Case Study Worksheet
  • Potato Harvester Case
  • IV Pole Case
  • Historic Aviation Case
  • Winery Case
