>> The course is Open to all enrolled undergraduate and graduate students, the design-intensive course will use the MIT First Year Experience as a way to teach different methods for how to examine an issue, understand it better, tease out what constituents prioritize changing, design alternate prototypes, evaluate those, and iterate.   This subject will offer instruction in the process of design while working on a specific design challenge: the potential to significantly improve and innovate on the MIT undergraduate first year.
