24 MonthsTechnology is deeply embedded, pervaded, and percolated into the contemporary society. A designer in contemporary world can no longer consider technology just as a tool or extensions of human abilities. A designer should be able to understand technology as design material. Technology's materiality allows a contemporary designer to understand the entanglements of technology with human problems, experiences, society, and culture.
M.Des (IDT) is designed around that need. Students will learn to connect technological capability with human experiences, designing meaningful products, interactions, services and systems. It prepares designers to contribute in a world where problems are no longer purely technical or purely social, but deeply interconnected. Intelligent systems, sustainability transitions, public infrastructure, digital platforms and emerging technologies require designers who can understand fundamentally understand different technology, its effects, and translate this knowledge across domains.
