Interaction Design

This course will run as a design studio where students design new products as a way to explore the principles, processes, and outcomes of interaction design. Each week, students will complete both in-class and take-home projects that apply concepts and frameworks to real problem spaces. Class sessions will simulate professional design practice through weekly critiques, peer feedback, and design reviews. Students will be expected to present their work every week, engage actively in discussion, and refine their designs based on input.

Assignments will range from rapid, low-fidelity exercises to more developed interaction prototypes, giving students practice across the spectrum of design methods. The course culminates in a final project during the last weeks, where students bring together the skills, approaches, and insights developed throughout the semester. By the end of the course, students will have built a portfolio project and gained experience working within the collaborative, iterative culture of interaction design.
