Why did you choose the MSD program?  

The MSD program offers a different foundation than my background and allows me the opportunity to obtain a hybrid education of the two fields of engineering and design. Coming from a purely quantitative direction I am intrigued by research design focused on qualitative techniques.

What is the best aspect of the MSD program?  

The student-faculty relationship and facilities are superb. Classes feature a mixture of research and deliverable projects which allow students to choose their topics of study.
