Introduction
Design has evolved into a discipline that aims to make a positive impact in many different aspects of nature and society. As a result, designers find themselves in increasingly cross-disciplinary and multimodal environments, where they need to discover, investigate, define problems, and support claims based on evidence gained through universal scientific and academic practices. In this course, students will gain the ability to conduct scientific design research and develop an understanding of its relevance to practice.
