Abstract

This paper addresses a key challenge in Egypt's Educational sector: the mismatch between engineering education and the needs of modern design-focused companies. This gap hinders the development of user-friendly products and the sector's competitiveness. To bridge this divide, the paper proposes collaborative design training for engineers and designers. This paper will equip them with Human-Centered Design and Engineering and VisionaryDriven Design Research skills. By understanding user needs and developing solutions for the future, engineers can create a stronger link between education and industry. The paper will explore specific points to improve collaboration between engineers and designers, the potential of artificial intelligence to accelerate design processes, and ultimately, how to empower engineers to solve societal challenges and drive innovation in Egypt 2024.
