We intend to build your observation and testing skills by doing some in every project. Projects are the core of the course. P1 Human Error is a short assignment intended to start you looking around for design opportunities. P2 Smart Stuff is a two-week group project to create a skit that demonstrates crazy, futuristic hardware and software. P3 Age of Discovery is an individual design and implementation of an interactive explanation.
Creativity is one focus of the course.
We will also look to your Log as evidence of your engagement with the challenges of the course. Guests will contribute to the class throughout the quarter and on project presentation days. These visitors will bring a professional perspective to the topic at hand. Auditors are welcome with the instructor' s permission. This diversity enriches the teams and brings additional dimension to the project work.
