Course Description
This is a two-part course that is taught across the span of a year. Part I introduces students to the concept of searching for and isolating problems in their physical world, by presenting a product, process or service in the form of a research proposal. It helps refine the presented proposals by inculcating an understanding of relevant practice-based research approaches and methods and helps develop a research paradigm in the context of inter- and trans disciplinary curiosities. In Part II, students are tasked with the rigorous process of transforming their research ideas into a final, creative manifestation of their work, including, but not limited to design artifacts, scholarly research articles, a short/feature-length film, or dynamic/interactive visuals.
