Course Description:
Design thinking, as a problem-solving approach, provides the tools necessary to
become an innovative thinker. The course will present an overview of the design
thinking process and critical mindsets that can lead to new insights and
innovations. The course will review how individuals and organizations use
creativity and design thinking skills to identify and choose opportunities that
enable innovation. Creative problem-solving skills are developed and enhanced
through a range of activities. Students will learn to use empathy to understand and connect with problems, break down large problems into smaller pieces to solve, explore options, and test prototypes. Students will observe and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, generate ideas, create rapid prototypes, reflect, and
evaluate solutions. |
