Design Technology Core 1

3 credits · Engineering Professional

In this course, students will advance their skills related to two technical toolkits core to design innovation practice: hardware prototyping, primarily digital fabrication and interactive systems developing using the Raspberry Pi single-board computing platform; and, introductory data science and machine learning, for driving data-driven design work in both hardware and digital applications. The course revolves around extensive in-class experimentation; weekly skill-building assignments; three mini-projects; and a final individual project intended to serve as a portfolio-ready piece.
