This course will introduce the human-centred design in a way that is understandable to technically trained individual with applications in product
design. The course will follow the IDEO model for human-centred design: hear, create, and deliver. Students will learn processes, tools, and
methods for prototyping, analyzing, visualizing, and validating a design with the goal of delivering innovative design solutions. Students will work in
small teams to develop a specification by the end of the term, supported by scheduled gate reviews, in-class presentations, and peer review. The
outcome of the course will be a final presentation where students will demonstrate their prototype. The course is studio-based with a lecture
component.
