Selected topics in design innovation. This course cannot be used to complete any course or unit requirement for College of Engineering undergraduates.

Design Thinking: Methods, Skills, and Mindsets creates a structured framework for the implementation of design thinking methods in the context of solving real-world problems with industry sponsors. Students will go through the entire product development pathway
in five modules: human-centered design research (qualitative and quantitative), synthesis of the design research, ideation methods, prototyping and client communication. Within each module, students will learn from a versatile library of proven design methodologies aimed to support the design innovation process. There will be an emphasis on hands-on innovative thinking and professional practice. Students will leave the course with an increased skill set in design methods and will have the option to receive certification on each method they have mastered.
