Abstract
In this design-focused course, creative theories will be translated into practical applications as students find and design solutions to real world problems. In doing so, this course will expose students to a variety of prototyping technologies; however, no prior technical knowledge is required. By emphasizing human-centric design practices and a “maker mindset,” students will learn how to validate an idea by creating, testing, refining, and presenting a physical prototype that has value to their target audience. The course utilizes an “active learning,” interdisciplinary approach in which students will engage in a combination of instructor-led and self-guided work both inside and outside of the classroom.
