4 semester hoursUndergraduateLecture

Introduces theoretical, methodological, and practical approaches to transforming physical products into meaningful, contextual experiences. Analyzes real-world examples through observation, reverse engineering, and critical discussion, identifying technical and cultural factors that shape impactful interactions between environments, products, and people. Fieldwork at a major global design event forms a central component, fostering direct engagement with contemporary design practices. Emphasizes accessibility, meaning making, sustainability, and social impact, exploring their resonance across users, communities, and stakeholders. Integrates theory and practice through field research and applied design projects, culminating in comprehensive analysis, innovative reporting tools, the application of meta-design principles to design guidelines for future product-related experiences, and the creation of frameworks for others to design.
