7.3 The Education Issue
In a complex and rapidly changing world, today's designer needs to be more multi-faceted than ever. Specialized knowledge is becoming ever more critical as companies seek to implement advanced materials and manufacturing technologies to maximum effect. Since day one, education has been an important part of our mission. In our latest issue of MATTER, we explore the growing importance of materials intelligence in the design process, from advancements in academia to the rise of design thinking in developing nations.
