This course introduces students to design activity as a form of inquiry found across a broad range of
disciplines. In particular, the course examines how design is engaged in the context of industrial
design and development both locally and globally. Theoretical models of design and innovation are
discussed with a view to different disciplinary conceptions of the design process. Examples of design
inquiry are illustrated in historical and contemporary instances. As part of the course, students
employ selected modes and methods of design research to generate innovative ideas and to translate
these ideas into designed outcomes. To this end, students will engage in processes of design activity
and inquiry in applied exercises throughout the course.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Describe a variety of design methods
2. Apply design research methods as part of design processes.
3. Present and critically reflect on processes of design inquiry.
