Research summary
AI-generated

Shanna Daly studies how engineers design products and systems, with particular attention to how designers understand and represent the needs of the people affected by their work. Her research spans engineering education topics such as how students learn to consider social impact and stakeholders during design, and how participatory or human-centered design methods can be taught and practiced. Much of the work involves studying engineering students and practitioners through interviews, case studies, and classroom-based projects.
