Design shapes the world, both physical and digital. To produce better products, services and communities, we need a better understanding of how design practices lead to results. This seminar will examine cognitive, social, and organizational dimensions of creativity and problem solving. Each week, a prominent thought leader from academia or industry will offer their insights on "design thinking," as part of CS547, the Seminar on People, Computers and Design. Directly after the public talk, CS549 will meet in a smaller venue and a discussant will offer a short response to initiate a critical discourse. In addition to participating in class discussions and online note taking, students will read the assigned publications and complete a final writing assignment. Students must register for and attend both CS547 and CS549. CS547 is on Friday from 12:45-2p, directly followed by CS549 from 2-4p. The class has no prerequisites and is open primarily to graduate students, but undergraduates may request permission from the instructors.
