Abstract
This chapter focuses on applied research projects run by the Helen Hamlyn Research Centre (HHRC) at the Royal College of Art (RCA) where an empathie approach is taken to the design process. The chapter is a description of the practical manner in which this method can be used and the emphasis is on how this and other user-centred design research methods can feed into the disciplines of engineering and design. The methodologies are not tied to one discipline, but have the ability to be transferred and adapted to suit any part of the design or engineering processes.
