Course description and aims
Currently, our human society, especially industry requires human resources capable of creating pioneering social value from new ideas to realize a happier and more prosperous society with responding to uncertainties of ever-changing society and economy. This lecture aims to learn the fundamentals of "design thinking" indispensable for future business leaders as one of the approaches to effective innovation creation and to promote "creative ability to discover and solve new problems". In the lecture, students learn the process and method of design thinking, through group exercises and experience the process (survey/observation, idea creation, prototyping, story-telling) of finding solutions for given subjects.
Student learning outcomes
Students will be able to understand the design thinking method and can apply it for suggesting solutions to surrounding problems.
Students can acquire facilitation skills through communication and discussion in the group.
Students will be able to visualize ideas quickly and effectively appeal them.
Keywords
Design Thinking, Facilitation, Project-based-learning (PBL)
Competencies that will be developed
| Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In the first half of the lesson, we learn about the concept and method of “design thinking”. In the second half, we attempt to propose propose solutions to given tasks through group works. The students learn deeper the essence of “design thinking” by applying the learned processes and methods step by step.
Students will be given assignments, such as team discussion, research for ideation, and preparation for the final presentation, after the lessons.
