Among all classes offered at the D school, Advanced product design (ME312) by Bill Burnett appealed to me the most. It was most closest to the blend of industrial design and mechanical engineering. I'm grateful that he let me take this class. I was the odd and the student from the aero-astro program. I met some amazing people who went on to become great designers.
