Credit Hours: 3.00.  Design is central to engineering: it is an integral part of the engineering profession and how we educate future professionals. Design cognition and learning is an area of engineering education research that seeks to understand what designers know and how they learn, and what tools best support design activity (e.g., collaboration, innovation, etc.). This research draws from many perspectives including cognitive psychology and the learning sciences, organizational learning, engineering and product design, architecture, human-centered interaction, and creativity and innovation. Themes in the course include (1) design knowledge, (2) what theories help understand design knowing and learning, (3) what are ways to study designers and design activity, and (4) how may design research inform design education and practice?
