The built environment made interactive and adaptive has great promise to support and augment us at work, school, and home, as we roam, play, interconnect, and age. Students will design and prototype artful, meticulous, physical objects and environments responsive to specific challenges of an increasingly digital society.

Outcome 1: To grapple with under-constrained, “wicked” problems and opportunities of an increasingly digital society.

Outcome 2: To identify design opportunities that may prove responsive to these problems and opportunities.

Outcome 3: To demonstrate an ability to realize interactive and adaptive objects and physical environments as working prototypes responsive to these problems and opportunities.
