Description:
This course focuses on the relationship among information, technology, and people in an applied context. Students will learn to define design-problem spaces, represent the problem, and suggest sociotechnical solutions.
Learning Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Explain challenges in developing sociotechnical systems for diverse individual, group, and societal stakeholders.
- Explain how sociotechnical systems affect how professionals communicate, collaborate, and interact.
- Identify a design problem and score a design space.
- Model sociotechnical systems to bridge the needs requirement as identified by designers and the features to develop by engineers or developers (specifically, using Unified Modeling Language).
- Demonstrate presentation construction and delivery skills that effectively communicate design problems and proposed solutions.
