CourseDescription
This course further promotes student attitudes, knowledge and cognitive skills under the theme design for connectivity, in which the related design project work is submitted to the scrutiny of persons outside of the students’ normal, in studio, sphere of activity the basic purpose is to provide useful, independent and constructive feedback about performance directly to students in a realistic or authentic design learning situation involving communication functions and products. The course builds on previous design studio courses by engaging students with real clients, based outside of the Design Faculty, in order to provide realistic and authentic design learning experiences (involving new design parameters and constraints as incorporated in design briefs specified by external clients). The client could be based internally or externally to the University environment; however, preferably in a non profit and/or social situation that requires a design input.
The main project will include the design of a system (for example, a security system for a company, or an intercommunication system for an institution), electronic communication devices, and their interfaces.
