I think it would be great if IxDA came up with a proposed curriculum that could be used by schools to build new offerings in the IxD field.
As a thought experiment, here are my dream courses for undergrad and grad (Master's):
UNDERGRADUATE Year 1: Sketching and Modeling Introduction to Typography Industrial Design Fundamentals Introduction to Programming Writing Fundamentals Year 2: Intermediate Industrial Design Intermediate Typography Information Design and Visualization Introduction to Cognitive Psychology Design History Year 3: Design Research Digital Prototyping Physical Computing Design Theory Interface Design Year 4: Senior Project Studio: Projects with New Technology Advanced Topics (CD, ID, CS, Psychology, Anthropology) Current Topics in IxD Documenting Systems Ideally, there would be a mix of humanities classes in here as well. GRADUATE Year 1: Refresher Courses (sampler as per undergrad courses) Design Theory Design Strategy Design Research Analysis Business Fundamentals Year 2: Master's Thesis Master's Project Design Management Advanced Topics (CD, ID, CS, Psychology, Anthropology) Current Topics in IxD What's your list?
