In earlier design thinking research, as in the present research, Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel's team strives to deeply understand how design thinking can be adopted in the field of IT (information technology) and engineering. How does design thinking inspire creative multidisciplinary teamwork across faculties? How can spatial, time, and cultural boundaries be overcome? How can design thinking be meshed with traditional approaches in engineering?
