“Where I’ve Been, Where I Am, Where I’m Going”: Exploring Design Awareness through an Undergraduate Student Seminar

Presented at Design Methodologies 1

How does an individual keep track of where they are in a design process and know whether they are on the right course or if they should change directions? How does a designer realize that they do not understand enough about the problem they are solving and decide to gather more information? As a designer is in the midst of a design process, it is optimal if they can be aware of where they are in the design process so that they can make informed decisions about the next steps. In this work-in-process paper, we describe a seminar with five undergraduate students where they explore the concept of design awareness and brainstorm ideas for a tool to help them stay aware of the design process even while they are deeply engaged in it.
