The Design Minor enables students to develop digital literacy and material knowledge in cutting-edge design practice and research. Courses bring together experimentation, collaborative and independent project work and research in ways that develop skills, knowledge and design agility. A flexible structure allows students to develop creative agency to respond to our world’s wicked problems.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate an understanding of the technical, cultural and conceptual aspects of design practice;
- generate, develop and evaluate ideas and concepts using critical, technical and creative skills through design projects;
- critically reflect upon and evaluate design artefacts; and
- interpret, communicate and present ideas in modes suited to a range of audiences.
