PRD-359: Design Lab 2

Design Lab 2 / Sustainability Design is an advanced level product design course that will build upon the key concepts of sustainability, principles of ecology, circular economy, and environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) introduced in DfS1 and prior design studios. Students will consider relevant environmental, social and economic factors, and apply comprehensive research and experimentation to the design of a product/service and/or system. Students will draw from their existing knowledge of the topic (of sustainability) along with their abilities to use the design process and creative methodologies to develop desirable, viable, feasible and ethical solutions that incorporate and reflect the sustainable focus of this course. Students will be expected to make informed decisions during the design process and present their solutions using professional and relevant topic terminology.
