SYDE 364Design Consultation

In this course, students will engage with stakeholders, colleagues, communities, and the natural world as they apply human-centered and participatory design practices to fully understand a complex design problem in its broader societal and environmental context. Students will develop and represent a deep understanding of the design problem while acknowledging their own knowledge gaps, deficiencies in existing solutions, and uncertainties. Students will work with each other and stakeholders to determine viable solution approaches while considering a wide range of options including new or changes to existing products, processes, infrastructure, policy, or other systems.
