Course description and aims
Traditional business model has not passed for current system and creation of a new value is strongly demanded in our human society. As a powerful method of creating new value, "design thinking" has attracted attention and applied not only to product development but also to services, organization development, and improvement of people's lives.
This lecture aims to cultivate the ability to extract and set subjects and propose solutions to various problems occurring in actual society by using "design thinking approach".
In addition, this lecture mainly focuses on group work, and carries out each phase of "discovery", "refinement", "quest", "experiment" and "development". Specifically, students will experience processes from discovery of "potential user needs" to "creation of ideas as solutions" through subject discovery, problem definition, sympathy, creation of ideas, prototyping, user test, and storytelling.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand and practice the mindset and method of design thinking through group work.
2) Extract and set subjects from various problems arising in actual society, and propose their solutions.
3) Communicate smoothly in the group and actively discuss.
Keywords
Design Thinking, Project-based-learning (PBL), Problem Solving Skills
Competencies that will be developed
| Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Students will work in small groups through 3-4 Q. At the beginning of the semester, the groups will set up subjects from given problems, and work to suggest solutions to the problems. Finally, students will provide the project or service with business opportunity.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Materials (textbooks) will be provided by instructors in class.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Each instructor will recommend as necessary.
