Claudia M. Eckert is an engineering educator specialising in the engineering design process. [1] Educated in Germany, Scotland, and England, she works in England as a professor of design at the Open University. [2]
Eckert was a student of mathematics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany, and a student of philosophy at the Munich School of Philosophy, a small Jesuit school in Munich. [2] After earning a bachelor's degree from the Munich School of Philosophy, [1] and a master's degree in Applied Artificial Intelligence from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, [2] in 1990, [3] she completed a PhD in 1997 at the Open University. [2] Her dissertation, Intelligent support for knitwear design, was jointly supervised by Helmut Bez, Jeff Johnson, and Nigel Cross. [4]
After continuing as a researcher at the Open University [3] and then working for approximately ten years at the University of Cambridge, in the university's Engineering Design Centre, she became a senior lecturer at the Open University in 2008. She was promoted to professor in 2013. [2]
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is a US-based international learned society for computing. It was founded in 1947 and is the world's largest scientific and educational computing society. The ACM is a non-profit professional membership group, reporting nearly 110,000 student and professional members as of 2022. Its headquarters are in New York City.
The Open University (OU) is a public research university and the largest university in the United Kingdom by number of students. The majority of the OU's undergraduate students are based in the United Kingdom and principally study off-campus; many of its courses can also be studied anywhere in the world. There are also a number of full-time postgraduate research students based on the 45-hectare (110-acre) university campus at Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, where they use the staff facilities for research, as well as more than 1,000 members of academic and research staff and over 2,500 administrative, operational and support staff.
A doctorate or doctoral degree is a postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities and some other educational institutions, derived from the ancient formalism licentia docendi.
David Andrew Patterson is an American computer scientist and academic who has held the position of professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley since 1976. He is a computer pioneer. He announced retirement in 2016 after serving nearly forty years, becoming a distinguished software engineer at Google. He currently is vice chair of the board of directors of the RISC-V Foundation, and the Pardee Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus at UC Berkeley.
The Doctor of Engineering is a research doctorate in engineering and applied science. An EngD is a terminal degree similar to a PhD in engineering but applicable more in industry rather than in academia. The degree is usually aimed toward working professionals.

The history of women in engineering predates the development of the profession of engineering. Before engineering was recognized as a formal profession, women with engineering skills often sought recognition as inventors. During the Islamic Golden Period from the 8th century until the 15th century there were many Muslim women who were inventors and engineers, such as the 10th-century astrolabe maker Al-ʻIjliyyah.
