Course'Description:'This is the first studio course for product design majors. This class will require students to apply skills developed in 2701 Creative Design Methods, 2702 Concept Sketching and 2703 Concept Visualization and Presentation. Emphasis will be placed on early stages of product development using industry-standard practices. This studio will focus on research, user needs, empathy, storyboarding, and presentation skills. This studio will involve real-world projects. Students will gain experience in the process for designing products for others.

Course'Prerequisites:''Product Design Major , Co-Req PDES 2704 Readings:''Milton and Rodgers. Research Methods for Product Design. Laurence King Publishing 2012 Established'Course'Objectives:''By the end of the semester, students will…

1. Execute a complete design project including research, project planning, concept creation, concept development, and concept execution.

2. Be able to conduct product research, identify challenges, and create solutions.

3. Be able to verbally communicate their work to peers and professionals.

Attendance:'!Attendance is mandatory. Tardiness will also count against the participation grade. Every missed class day will result in 5 percentage points deducted from the final grade. More than three unexcused absences will be considered an F in the class. Only in certain circumstances as described in the UMN Policies will an absence or tardy not affect the grade. Here are some things that do not constitute an excused absence: going to hear a talk, attending an event for another class, job interviews, having a headache. If you are ill, please submit a doctor’s note so I do not count this against you. http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Education/Education/MAKEUPWORK.html

Students will have an extra week to complete assignments missed from legitimate absences.

Grading'Structure:'This studio focuses on one major project through the semester however; this major project is divided into 3 phases. Grading will be based on quantity and quality of work, creativity, use of process, meeting deadlines, and overall quality of execution. All assignments will be presented verbally and visually [using manual and digital tools]. Class participation grades are based on attendance, quality of in-class participation, and interaction with other students.

The purpose of this studio is to teach students how to find andsolve problems with product based solutions. The students willbe working closely with a client with real needs and developingsolutions for that client.

How will you assess the students' learning related to thisoutcome? Give brief examples of how class work related to theoutcome will be evaluated.

Student work is directly assessed by the client, peers, and theinstructor. In milestone reviews, students will receive feedbackon how well their solutions meet the client needs and theirconcepts will evolve accordingly.

- Can communicate effectively

Please explain briefly how this outcome will be addressed inthe course. Give brief examples of class work related to theoutcome.

Strategic Objectives -Curricular Objectives:

How does adding this course improve the overallcurricular objectives ofthe unit?

The studio courses form the core of the product design program.These are opportunities for the students in the major to work onreal-world problems, develop work for their portfolio, learn designprocess, and apply skills learned in the technical courses. This isthe first studio for students in the major.

Strategic Objectives - CoreCurriculum:

Does the unit consider this course to be part of itscore curriculum?

Yes, this is a required course.

Strategic Objectives -Consultation with OtherUnits:

Before submitting a new course proposal in ECAS,circulate the proposed syllabus to department chairsin relevant units and copy affiliated associate dean(s).Consultation prevents course overlap and informsother departments of new course offerings. If youdetermine that consultation with units in externalcollege(s) is unnecessary, include a description of thesteps taken to reach that conclusion (e.g., catalog keyword search, conversation with collegiate curriculumcommittee, knowledge of current curriculum in relatedunits, etc.). Include documentation of all consultationhere, to be referenced during CCC review. If emailcorrespondence is too long to fit in the spaceprovided, paraphrase it here and send the fulltranscript to the CCC staff person. Please also send aWord or PDF version of the proposed syllabus to theCCC staff person.

Not Applicable. There are no other courses at the university thatoverlap in content.
