FYP 1150 Designing for Change
This course is an introduction to design thinking. Over the course of the semester, students will define, ideate and prototype solutions to a problem they identify on the Manhattanville campus. In addition to learning and participating in the process of design thinking, students will practice the design thinking mindsets of empathy, collaboration, optimism, embracing failure, creative confidence, and a bias toward action. Students will explore examples of the use of design thinking as an approach to find creative and innovative solutions to "wicked" problems facing our society and world. Students will also explore the history of social justice at Manhattanville College and explore their own capacity and identity for being an agent for change.
