| COMM 219 - IDEA DEVELOPMENT |
|
This writing intensive course explores structured processes used to recognize, cultivate, and transform ideas into working prototypes. Working in teams, students learn to employ innovative approaches to creative problem solving, using methodologies that include lateral and convergent thinking, and design thinking, a human-centered model used in both the public and private sectors.
Research, critical thinking, writing in the discipline, and presentation skills will be developed in this course. Students actively learn strategies to solve human centered design problems that exist on both local and global levels. “Design” and “design thinking” in this course refers to inspiration, insight, ideation, and implementation—methods adopted from multiple design disciplines to strengthen creative problem-solving skills and provide structure to the idea development process.
