| MS&E430 is taking on a new form this year as
one of the experimental courses being created by the d.school (officially
the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design). Since the d.school is just
starting up and is committed to pioneering innovative design techniques,
this year's class is at a particular moment of opportunity. Projects
done by students in this course will help create the foundation for
an "empathy lab" that will be a future centerpiece for the
d.school.
This is a project-based studio course in which students from a
variety of disciplines work together in small teams on a quarter-long
design project. It attempts to answer the question, "how do
you support the innovation design process in a complex world with
tangible, real world solutions?". |
