MAS.962: Industrial Design Intelligence (Autumn 2000)
Instructor: Ted Selker
The look, feel and use of objects communicate their value to us. This
course applies cognitive science and technology to the industrial
design process. The course will introduce prototyping techniques and
approaches for objective evaluation as part of the design
process. Students will practice evaluating products with mechanical
and electronic aspects. The evaluation process will then be applied to
creating functioning smart product prototypes. This is a
project-oriented course that will draw on engineering, aesthetic, and
creative skills. The course is geared towards students interested in
creating physical products which encompass electronics and computers
in order to include them in smart scenarios. Students will present
readings, learn prototyping skills, create a product prototype, and
complete a publication style paper.
