<p>Northwestern has one of the most design-oriented and “creative” engineering curriculum out there. All freshmen are required to design products for real clients; you can move to the next level after that if you want; there’s a design certificate available for example. I am not sure how much NUvention (under FCEI link) is for undergrads but an undergrad team just won an award at the 2009 DiabetesMine Design Challenge. Actually the two Northwestern teams swept the top two awards (beating teams from MIT/Stanford/Berkeley :D).
