ENGR 360: Design Thinking : Process, Method & Practice

Course Description

Design Thinking: Process, Method and Practice is a highly interactive project-based introduction to design, structured as a hands-on course. This course brings a holistic vision to design innovation. Students work in teams that follow a process of immersion of user experiences, exploration of ideas and prototyping of potential solutions. To work effectively as a team, collaboration and project management concepts and methods are introduced. The course consists of two instructional elements: regular class lectures and in class hands-on exercises based on case studies. In addition, a semester long team based project allows students to apply classroom learnings to real life design problems. Teams present their design concepts, showcase prototypes in engaging and thoughtful ways. (F, W).
