Building a Design-Driven Culture

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

Building a Culture of Design is an immersive exploration of Design Thinking and Human-Centered Design, equipping students with the tools, mindsets, and collaborative skills necessary to tackle complex challenges. Through hands-on practice, students will engage in the design thinking process, build a foundation in theory, and apply a variety of design tools to real-world problems. A key component of the course is a collaborative project with a community partner, where students will ideate, prototype, and refine solutions based on an identified need and provide leadership and mentorship to undergraduate students in the course. By the end of the semester, students will have developed practical experience in human-centered problem-solving, preparing them to apply design thinking in a variety of professional and social contexts. No credit for students who have earned credit for HOD 3320. [3]
