STSO 2020 - Design and Innovation Studio III

This design studio introduces students to the first semester-long design project. We introduce students to more formal engineering design methods. This includes problem formulation, structured ideation, rapid prototyping, evaluation, functional modeling, and iteration. Studio III will also continue to draw on social science methods of ethnographic observation, background research, stakeholder analysis, and also a critical deconstruction of engineering design methods in a way that builds agility in ways more appropriate for those in DIS. Development of individual skills in design development, presentation, and portfolio building are also emphasized.
