    Description
    This course introduces students to the decision making process called Design Thinking. Design Thinking emphasizes deep user understanding, intentional iteration and a focus on possibilities as a way to improve people's lives and enhance and create value for stakeholders. Design Thinking draws on methods from engineering and design and combines them with ideas from the arts, social services and the business world. Emphasis will be placed on experiential learning, identifying specific behaviors and skills that enable design thinkers to meet customer demands in all types of organizations including for-profits, non-profits, healthcare, arts and education.
