Wicked problems are pervasive issues that resist traditional problem-solving approaches due to their interconnected nature, ambiguity, and evolving dynamics. In this course, students develop the skills/mindset necessary to address complex, multifaceted challenges that defy easy solutions, through an introduction to wicked problems, systems thinking, interdisciplinary and socially just approaches, design thinking, ethics and equity, adaptive leadership, creative interventions and prototyping.Weekly Contact:Lecture 3 hrs.GPA Weight:1.00Billing Units:1Count:1.00Custom Requisites:Available only to students in The Creative SchoolCSE 101 - Design TheoryCourse DescriptionThis course will be offered in the blended format and will provide an introduction to the spatial design disciplines amongst other design principles. Students will gain an appreciation of the value and meaning of design within human culture and of the breadth of design fields in the contemporary world. Key theoretical concerns for design are discussed within the context of a “wicked problem” design assignment.Weekly
