Design Research

[0.50] credits · Graduate

The design research course supports graduate students in developing the background research for their final Major Research Project (MRP) or Capstone Project. Through structured seminars, workshops, and critiques, students refine research questions, conduct literature and precedent reviews, and establish appropriate theoretical and methodological frameworks. Emphasis is placed on critical inquiry, design-based research methods, and the translation of research into a clear, well-supported foundation to support student MRP and/or capstone projects.
