Courses Offered
All courses offered by the Department are one semester and are lecture and laboratory as determined by individual instructors.
The courses are divided into Group A and Group B subjects. Group A subjects have an emphasis on the theory and methodology of design, while Group B subjects have an emphasis on the practical application of theory and methodology in specific problem situations.
Group A
SYDE 602 Design Heuristics
The role of decisions and information in heuristics, problem solution mazes and “trees.” Known design heuristics, trial and error, directed trial, sub-set grouping, interactive, etc.
SYDE 603 Creative Synthesis in Design
The role of association and imagery in solution generation. Types of solution generators. Adaptive and substitutional processes. The role of experimentation and analysis in synthesis.
SYDE 604 Design Morphology and Organization
Generation of problem statements, systems identification, generation of solution sets, feasibility determination. Construction of archtypes; sensitivity, compatibility and stability analysis; behaviour prediction, and solution communication.
SYDE 605 Decisions, Value and Utility in Design
Decisions under certainty, risk, and uncertainty, preference measures, ranking and transitivity, quality, dimensional analysis of quality, thresholds, simulation methods.
SYDE 606 Planning of Innovative and Design Processes
Logic of design, determination of operations sequencing, estimates of time, uncertainty, risk and iteration related to design operations and time, determination of design operations nets.
SYDE 607 Thesis
SYDE 608 The Theory of Human Communications: Man-Man; Man-Machine; Mass and Political
A survey of the structure, functions, philosophy, process and effects of mass and inter-personal communications.
