About
The Department of Product & Systems Design Engineering (DPSDE) is an interdisciplinary academic unit operating at the intersection of systemic design, socio-technical systems, built environment innovation, and human-centred transformation.
Our mission is to design and evaluate regenerative, inclusive and aesthetically meaningful systems that respond to contemporary environmental, social and technological challenges.
Our approach treats built environments as living socio-ecological systems, where performance is understood as an emergent property of interactions between infrastructure, behaviour, governance and culture.
