Course description and aims
This class provides for the students who intend to commit design scientific inquiry into designing with the fundamental and advanced theories and methodologies.
Student learning outcomes
To get intellect, knowledge, and skill of state-of-the-arts theories and methods of design studies on design process, design thought, design rationale, creativity in designing, etc.
Keywords
Design Science, Constructive Methodology, FNS, FBS, Information Processing, Creativity, Thought Process, Problem Solving, Logical Thinking, Illogical Abduction, Design Computing and Cognition, Computational Design.
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Interactive activities, such as discussion on designated topics, active learning, among the students, the teaching assistant, and the instructor are employed. Some essential fundamentals are given through reading assignments. Specific topics are selected on the basis of the students' research questions. If no research interest is shown from the students, this class will lose the significance.
