Catalog Description

Formal, structural and functional components of design. Product language and brand identity as a part of form giving. Research for design. Building blocks of human-product interaction. Knowledge and skills in user-centered design process. Design as communication.

Course Objectives

The goal of this course is to help students gain competence in relevant research and design methods to carry out an entire design process. Students are encouraged to consider product form and interaction in relation to structure, function and communication with the user. Physical and cognitive aspects of user-product interaction, such as ergonomics, product language and ease of use are addressed as a part of user-centered design methodology, which is integrated in product design projects. Traditional and rapid prototyping methods are employed within iterative design process and final outputs.

 

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Conduct desk and field research to gain insights for design.
2. Analyze the working principles and functionality of products.
3. Identify the impact of the physical and cognitive affordances of products on human-product interaction.
4. Use appropriate user testing methods at necessary steps throughout the design process.
5. Communicate the creative process and outputs visually and orally through prototypes, presentations and visual deliverables.
6. Generate creative design solutions considering functional, experiential and feasibility constraints.
