TEACHING: UNDERGRADUATE COURSES
------------------------------------------------------------
IDI2004/ING2004 Design and Systems Thinking Lab (25 students undergraduate)
Experiential studio-based innovation course. It partners with real organizations to solve complex problems with the use of technology. Every semester.
IDI2015/ ING2015 Anthrodesign Course (54 students undergraduate)
Experiential project-based + research based course. It partners with real organizations in order to engage in applied field research for the detection of opportunities for innovation. Second semesters.
IDI1015/ING1015 (2014) Experiential project-based course.
The students are taught on the implications of collecting data, visualizing data and the importance of narrative in portraying a data based message.
