Did you know that you are a designer? Filippo Salustri says so. “Design is recognizing that there is a shortcoming and developing a way to improve the situation,” he says. “Everyone designs every day.”

A mechanical engineer who has been teaching and researching at Ryerson since 1989, Salustri has dedicated his career to advancing the practice of design in engineering. He wants engineers to predict ways that users will be satisfied with, constrained by or hard on products.
In the cornerstone design course, which he teaches in partnership with ergonomist Patrick Neumann, Salustri challenges students to do so by engaging them in diverse projects such as designing a stroller, a lifeboat or a patient list for a hospital emergency room – projects that amplify their natural design tendencies and inspire creativity. “A true designer,” he says, “is unconstrained by the limits of discipline and field.”
