Ward van der Houwen lets engineers and scientists re-discover intuition and bodily experience as tools in science and engineering. Ward is an industrial design engineer with a PhD in medical sciences. His diverse background in product development, and research in the fields of evolutionary morphology, medical devices and the design process explains his combination of practical hands-on making skills and theoretical underpinning. In his teaching, he focuses on using intuition, hands-on experience, and constructive failing as the main tools in engineering and design. He is also an inspiring speaker and performing poet, his subjects often being the beauty of technology and (Soviet) space exploration. The past years, he has begun focusing on developing tools for sensitizing intuition and experience in the engineering process. One of those tools is the use of poetry to improve creativity and communication. For more information see vdhouwen.eu
