Life lessons don't often come from the engineering department at prestigious universities like Stanford. But for more than 40 years mechanical engineer Professor Bernie Roth has been teaching a class about applying design concepts to life.
He says the same concepts engineers use to design buildings or irrigation projects can be used to lose weight, achieve work/life balance or just about any problem life throws at us.
His class "The Designer in Society", is one of the most popular at Stanford University.
