Assistant Professor, Iowa State University, Mechanical Engineering and Design
My design process simultaneously considers marketing, psychology, aesthetics, and engineering. I am skilled at linking these fields in the design process, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and interested in applying my interdisciplinary methodology to sustainable design. My thesis research explores the impact of “constructed preferences” on product design. Email me at erinmacd at iastate dot edu.
