Center for Socially Engaged Engineering & Design (C-SED)
The Center for Socially Engaged Engineering & Design (C-SED) advances sociotechnical thinking and skillsets of engineers and designers by creating evidence-based, transformative learning experiences for students, instructors, and practitioner learners. C-SED is dedicated to creating a future where engineers habitually integrate their technical knowledge and abilities with societal inquiry to constantly pursue holistic and sustainable technology solutions.
C-SED learning experiences leverage novel educational content, tools, and methods developed in robust and reciprocal partnerships with diverse community stakeholders within and beyond the University of Michigan. These engineering education experiences are rooted in our commitment to fundamental research and the development and application of evidence-based strategies for sociotechnical integration in curricular, co-curricular, online, and professional development settings.C-SED offers undergraduate courses on Socially Engaged Engineering & Design, opportunities for students on co-curricular engineering & design teams to refine their design skills, and hosts a makerspace & prototyping lab open to courses, project teams, and individuals with design ideas.
