This course will cover tools for more spatiotemporally dynamic and granular analyses of cities through data, code, statistics, and visualization. Using open-source data and computational tools based in Python and the Jupyter Notebook environment, topics may include data cleaning, linking, and management, open data portals and APIs, exploratory and descriptive spatial data analysis, visualization, both unsupervised clustering and regionalization techniques using machine learning, and supervised techniques such as regression, classification, and model selection. Students will also learn how to design testable research questions, apply relevant data and analytical techniques, present our process and results in an engaging and informative way, and identify the limitations of quantitative analysis. A personal laptop will be required. A lab led by the TA will accompany this course.

The course is a continuation of DESIGN 6297. Students continue to explore and develop fundamental concepts and techniques for the integration of coding within design workflows at intermediate levels. The emphasis of the course is on the practical applications and design potential within such techniques while helping students understand the theoretical background and conceptual implications behind them. From a technical point, students will be introduced to XR technologies and material simulations and will handle both discrete and continuous forms. The aim is to develop intermediate skills and knowledge in order to be able to represent, analyze, synthesize and act upon spatial structures at various scales and levels of abstraction. The course is structured as a series of lecture/workshops accompanied by practical tutorials that will help students develop their coding skills.

This course provides an introduction to the human-centered and technical workings behind interactive devices ranging from cell phones and video controllers to household appliances and smart cars. This is a hands-on, lab-based course. Topics include electronics prototyping, interface prototyping, sensors and actuators, microcontroller development, physical prototyping, and user testing.

This course is intended for students to study a Design Tech topic not covered in a standard course.

Take a deep dive into a project that explores the frontiers of design and technology. Students will work closely with Cornell Tech and AAP faculty and research staff to conduct research on a critical design and technology question or problem and develop an implementable design tech solution for a real human need. Specialization projects take various forms but every project results in tangible, marketable experience and a completed project that will stand out on your resume. The class focuses on the development of a project question, literature review, team building, research methods, and identifying your audience.

Pre-thesis research on an independent design project on a topic selected and developed by the student in preparation for DESIGN 8905.

An independent design project on a topic selected and developed by the student and researched in DESIGN 8151. Marking the transition between academic and professional practices, the objective of the thesis project is for each student to define an individual position with regard to the discipline and practice of design + technology.

Take a deep dive into a project that explores the frontiers of design and technology. During this two-semester requirement, you will work closely with Cornell Tech and AAP faculty and research staff to conduct research on a critical design and technology question or problem and develop an implementable design tech solution for a real human need. Specialization projects take various forms but every project results in tangible, marketable experience and a completed project that will stand out on your resume. The second semester focuses on the development of a design argument, process and iteration, team building, experimentation and prototyping, and application of your design & technology solution, product, or project.
