Programs -Design Issues Summer Institutes are short programs for professional development and continuing education offered to professionals in design, design education, and other fields. They are for individuals who want to explore special topics in contemporary design thinking in order to expand their skills and understanding in the workplace and in teaching. The Institutes are conducted by the faculty of the School of Design, with participants from other colleges, schools, and departments at Carnegie Mellon, as appropriate. In addition, experts from design firms, corporations, and other institutions may also be involved in special programs.
Participants receive certificates upon completion of a program.
Institutes may range from several days to several weeks in length. Institutes are usually held at the Carnegie Mellon campus, but they may also be held at other locations in the United States or abroad, including corporate settings. Special arrangements may be made for corporations or other institutions. Copyright 2001 School of Design, Carnegie Mellon University.
