Data-Driven Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation—based on understanding user’s needs, rapid prototyping, and generating creative ideas—that will transform the way we develop products, services, processes, and organizations.
Design thinking will enable us to make decisions based on what users want instead of relying only on historical data or making risky bets based on instinct instead of evidence.
The HCD programs are designed keeping this in mind.
Enabling our students to become product leaders of tomorrow.
Design thinking brings together what is desirable from a human perspective with what is technologically feasible and economically viable.
Desirability: What makes sense to people and for people?
Feasibility: What is technically possible within the foreseeable future?
