NBAY 5180
Design Thinking

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

This hands-on course will prepare you to be future innovators by teaching you Design Thinking, the human-centered design methodology pioneered by IDEO and Stanford d.school founder, David Kelley. Adopted by major consulting firms, large corporations, tech start-ups and NGOs, design has rapidly emerged as a driver for innovation, organizational change and growth. The course introduces students to design tools and to a mindset for creative problem solving, to discover and frame new opportunities for impact. Students learn and apply the principles of design, design thinking and human centered design. This will require agility, embracing ambiguity, and an openness to new ways of (divergent and lateral) thinking, project-based teamwork, and openness to a culture of critique.

When Offered Fall, Spring.
