DM-UY 4913 Engineering Resilience: Community Technologies & Infrastructures of Care

What happens when the power goes out, the internet drops, or food supply chains break down? Communities that can design their own systems (whether for energy, food, or communication) are stronger, safer, and more creative. This course introduces you to community technologies: practical tools and infrastructures that help people adapt and thrive in times of… Read more DM-UY 4913 Engineering Resilience: Community Technologies & Infrastructures of Care

DM-GY 9103 Hybrid Designs

This advanced, project-based experimental design studio explores the creation and application of contemporary visual identities through critical theoretical frameworks and hands-on practice. Students will conceptualize, design, and execute a comprehensive visual identity system for an imagined persona, collective, or organization, culminating in a collaborative digital application that synthesizes multiple media formats and creative disciplines. The… Read more DM-GY 9103 Hybrid Designs

DM-GY 9102 Multisensory Design

Designers often prioritize visual information, excluding participants who would benefit from auditory and tactile feedback. In this class, we’ll take a multi-sensory approach to design that makes interfaces more inclusive and accessible to everyone. Students will learn how to design for the senses (think tactile controls combined with atmospheric sounds and olfactory or taste experiences),… Read more DM-GY 9102 Multisensory Design

DM-UY 4913 Drawing Studio for Designers and Engineers

This course introduces design and engineering students to the power of drawing as a fundamental tool for ideation, problem-solving, and innovation. Moving beyond technical drafting, students will explore both analog and digital drawing techniques that serve as direct pathways from imagination to implementation. By bridging artistic practice with engineering methodology, students will use visual thinking… Read more DM-UY 4913 Drawing Studio for Designers and Engineers

DM-UY 4193 Hybrid Visual Identity: Design and Application

This course is an advanced, project-based experimental design studio with parallel discussions of readings and critical theories in contemporary visual culture and visual identity creation. Students will devise and construct a visual identity (brand) for an imagined persona, collective or organization, then (as a class, communally, collaboratively) design an application of their brand in the… Read more DM-UY 4193 Hybrid Visual Identity: Design and Application

DM-GY 9113 Design for Social Impact

The social impact of technologies is typically thought about fairly late, if ever, in the design process. Indeed, it can be difficult at design time to predict what effects technologies will have. Nevertheless, design decisions can inadvertently “lock in” particular values early on. In this course, we will draw on science & technology studies, technology… Read more DM-GY 9113 Design for Social Impact

DM-UY 4913 Design Through Myth and Storytelling

Human beings experience the world through story, and myths are one of the oldest forms of storytelling. Their lessons are essential for meaningful communication, social connection, and a sense of wonder. Explore myths and storytelling techniques both new and old as a way of thinking through design principles and process. Through lectures, hands-on activities, and… Read more DM-UY 4913 Design Through Myth and Storytelling

DM-UY 4913 Hands-on Design: Fabrication Studio

This course explores the relationship between fabrication tools and contemporary artistic practice. Lectures and hands-on activities are integrated with computer-aided design (CAD) software to create individual or group projects. The course will focus equally on conceptual and technical skills. We will cover the process of creating works using experimental modes of making from ideation to… Read more DM-UY 4913 Hands-on Design: Fabrication Studio
