Professor Henderson was named a Presidential Young Investigator (1985-90) and is co-author of the textbook, "Computer-Integrated Design and Manufacturing." His major research includes publishing in computer-aided design and global engineering.

He founded the ASU Global Engineering Design Team (1998-2004), a multi-disciplinary, multi-country design experience for undergraduates and also is co-founder of GlobalResolve (2006 - ), a social entrepreneurship program in the Barrett Honors College with projects in 13 countries to help underserved commuities reduce the effects of poverty in water, sanitation, energy, education, health and agriculture.

Professor Henderson was one of the founding faculty ASU's Polytechnic School on the Polytechnic campus. He is also co-founder of the InnovationSpace, a new approach to transdisciplinary product development and entrepreneurship. His interests extend across typical disciplinary boundaries and include global design teams, innovative product design, computer graphics, CAD and rapid prototyping.
