Where is design going?
The general population will develop an ever-more refined “design IQ”. Products, places and organizations will be judged by increasingly sophisticated consumers, citizens and employees.

Data analytics and people skills.

Put students in project teams with non-design students and challenge them to tackle challenges in the local community.
