Engineering Doctorate Program
The EngD program in Human-System Interaction trains professionals who already have a Master’s degree in design or engineering to develop competencies in designing and evaluating interactive, intelligent, and innovative systems, services, and products. The HSI program is based on design thinking and system thinking, as well as scientifically founded and methodologically sound user-centered and data-driven approaches, paying special attention to the frontier of the complex systems enabled by artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies and their impact on individuals, organizations, and society. Candidates will spend about one-fourth of their time in courses and the rest on the research project and related activities. Program participants have backgrounds in the engineering, behavioral and physical sciences and work in small interdisciplinary teams, together with other EngD, PhD, and Master students with different national and cultural backgrounds.
