This course applied structured design methods to research and exploration of product form and function and introduces concepts of user centered design.

Special Topics is an introduction to fundamental design principles, processes and methodology. Through 2D and 3D

techniques designers will be empowered to generate effective visual representation of form. This

course will connect drawing and modeling while developing an understanding of the principles of

design.

This course supports independent study under the direction of Dr. Abigale Stangl in connection with MultiSense.Studio, an interdisciplinary research group at Georgia Tech. MultiSense.Studio focuses on the ethical design and development of inclusive services, products, and experiences through accessibility innovation and personalization. Students will pursue a self-directed program of study related to accessibility, inclusive design, multimodal interaction, assistive

This seminar surveys the theories and methodologies within the field of industrial design that locate meaning in the designed object as derived from culture.

In this studio course, students will explore various experience design methodologies and techniques for creating digital / physical interaction in public spaces. The prevalence and advancement of sensor-based technologies give us the ability to enhance our built environment by weaving together interactive digital content with our tangible, physical surroundings. Students will learn co-creation methods that harness the creative power of diverse teams to conceptualize and design purposeful interactive experiences that influence audience emotions towards inspired actions and measurable objectives. 

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.
