为学生提供设计方面的先进技术和概念技能，并使用数字媒体作为制作和创作工具。在课程的后期，学生将通过制作主要作品将重点放在高级设计应用程序上，这些作品将融合当代基于工作室的实践和理论与严格的批判性分析。将向学生介绍设计思维，以此作为探索调查和理解复杂挑战的方法以及以用户为中心的思想生成方法。鼓励学生将设计过程视为一种协作活动，通过制作和原型设计来产生创新。
Provides students with advanced technical and conceptual skills in design, and uses digital media as both a production and a creative tool. In the latter stages of the course, students will focus on an advanced design application through the production of a major piece of work that will fuse contemporary studio-based practice and theory with rigorous critical analysis. Students will be introduced to design thinking as a means of exploring ways of investigating and understanding complex challenges, and user-focused methods of generating ideas. Students will be encouraged to view the design process as a collaborative activity that generates innovation through making and prototyping. The course will appeal to non-design related practitioners and graduates who wish to upgrade their practice by including design skills as the means to understand and apply the role of empathy in user-centred innovation. Apply advanced design research processes and methods to investigate, evaluate, and synthesise complex problems, concepts and theories in inter-disciplinary design projects. Reflect critically on advanced design philosophies, principles, methods, and processes, to demonstrate master of inter-disciplinary design practice or scholarship. Apply communication and collaboration skills to design innovative contributions to inter-disciplinary design practice or scholarship. Use high level self management skills to initiate, plan, and execute a substantial design project.
