Design Thinking and Innovation

Catalog description

This project-based learning experience will provide students with an opportunity to develop their creative problem-solving skills using a design thinking approach. Collaboratively, students will explore how to leverage design thinking tools and mindsets to develop technology-driven solutions for design challenges that tackle societal needs. Throughout the design process, students will actively cultivate empathy, generate creative ideas, and prototype solutions. They will also consider various aspects such as system components, future scenarios, and human behaviors. The outcome of the design process will be the creation of products, services, or experiences that prioritize equity, equality, and have a positive impact on society. Students who have taken CIS 102Y (Design Thinking and Innovation) cannot register for this course.
