0376 - Final Studio: Product Development
Course Description
Students produce a final project for current and forthcoming markets in a course where they demonstrate fundamental knowledge of, and proficiency in, all aspects of product development through manufacturing. They employ empathic communication and other design thinking concepts to illustrate the critical and creative abilities gained. Their projects exhibit understanding of and choices made at each stage of the design process, including challenges faced and how they were addressed, as well as sociocultural, historical and current industry references. Business practices and methods for presenting design solutions are also taught for those who are about to begin, or have already commenced, a career in product development.
Special Schedule: Class meets over the course of the 12-week term, with meetings established by the instructor. Students also work independently between class meetings. A final individual portfolio review is included at the end of the semester and will be scheduled with your instructor.
