INTRODUCTION
We’ve included a set of useful resources to help you become a truly Empathetic Engineer: videos of leading engineers demonstrating the importance of empathy with nature, materials, people and planet, reading lists and links to other websites and toolkits, more case studies and links to over 40 tools used by Empathetic Engineers. The tools we’ve selected are drawn from a wide variety of sources and we’ve included links to those original sources so you can explore more about each of the tools and why we think these are some of the very best ones to enable the 6 stage empathetic engineering process.
Empathy with Nature, People and Planet
Learn in detail how remarkable engineers have employed design practices like those in this website, to implement impactful engineering projects. These videos, from the BBC, were created with support from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.
TOOLS
This website contains over 40 different tools that can help your process. You can see a few here, click below to see the entire collection or go to the design process section to get further instruction on how best to use them in the correct context. They are drawn from a wide variety of sources and existing toolkits and you will find links to all of those toolkits too.
CASE STUDIES
These case studies represent examples of engineering projects that have been more successful and impactful through the use of design methodologies that are demonstrated in this website. Explore what they have achieved and how.
READING
These books and articles have been recommended to us by engineers as inspiring words that have helped them improve their processes and have more impact. If you think we're missing something let us know here.
