Courses Taught in Faul 2013

ME290P (cross-listed as BA290N with Haas School of Business), Fall 1995-2004, 2006-2011
Managing the New Product Development Process: Design Theory and Methodology
Design Thinking (TBA): Designed for professionally-oriented graduate students, this course explores key concepts in design inovation based on the human-centered design an approach called "design thinking". Topics cover include human-centered design research, analysis of research to develop design principles, creativity techniques, user needs framing and strategic business modeling. This course will introduce students to the tools and practices of innovation, deep customer insight, and design thinking in real world applications.
ME298: Research Seminar, offered every semester
Intelligent Systems, New Media and Product Design , 6102 Etcheverry Hall

Courses Taught in Previous Semesters

ME110 Introduction to New Product Development (cross-listed in S2011 with UGBA 196-16 in 2010), Spring 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011, Syllabus 2013
ME290H: Green Product Development: Design for Sustainability, Fall 2007, Spring 2011 (syllabus); The focus of the course is management of innovation processes for sustainable products, from product definition to sustainable manufacturing and financial models.
E39F Freshman/Sophomore Seminar: Community Assessment of Renewable Energy and Sustainability (CARES)
CEE 292A: Technologies for Sustainable Societies, Fall 2008-2010
Exploration of selected important technologies that serve major societal needs, such as shelter, water, food, energy, and transportation, and waste management. How specific technologies or technological systems do or do not contribute to a move toward sustainability.
Ed290C02 - Cognition and Development: Educational Issues in Engineering Design and Problem Solving, Spring 1997, Spring 2010 syllabus
KAUST ME220 - Theory and Methods in Product Design, Spring 2010 Course Description and Syllabus
E198-4 (CCN:27951)/E298A-18 (CCN: 27948) Research Seminar, Spring 2006 (noon-1:00 pm, Friday, 691 Barrrows Hall, Seminar Room for the Center for Race and Gender)
Berkeley's Research in Diversity and Inclusion: A Multi-disciplinary Survey . The Berkeley Diversity Research Initiative (BDRI) focuses on racial and ethnic diversity, supporting research into the nature of multi-cultural societies and the ways in which such societies - at the local, state, national, and international levels - might flourish. One major goal is to generate a more nuanced understanding of similarities and differences among multi-cultural societies and an identification of factors that contribute to their success . Another goal is to generate specific prescriptions for changes in policy and practice that are likely to draw upon the strengths and assets of a diverse community and reduce ethnic/racial disparities that are of concern to the State of California and the nation. Theme areas to be included in this research seminar include: K-12 Education, Access & Achievement: Health Disparities; Admissions, Mentoring and Achievement in Higher Education; Faculty Diversity; Civic Participation and Political Access; Global Cities: Diversity and Demographic Change; Race, Gender and Immigration in California; and Media, Art and Culture. The seminar will benefit from an external BDRI speaker series which will draw in top researchers nation-wide. The seminar will be team-taught by faculty with expertise in each of these theme areas.

Design Thinking Resources at UC Berkeley

Agogino's Design Thinking Courses and Related Papers
Berkeley Institute of Design (BiD): The Berkeley Institute of Design (BiD) is a research group that fosters a deeply interdisciplinary approach to design for the 21st century, spanning human-computer interaction, mechanical design, education, architecture and art practice.
Human-Centered Design Threads: Design is pervasive in our lives, as we spend most of our time interacting with human-made tools, objects, services, and information spaces. All these interactions are mediated through design, through structures and processes which are meant to optimize our relations with our environment. Design then is not only about form, but also about function, purpose and meaning. Many design questions start with an object or a practice, but lead to fundamental questions of economics, justice, and philosophy. The Course Thread in Human-Centered Design connects a rich offering of courses to the core question of design: Who does what with which tools? This question can be answered in a historical or visionary context, but also in a theoretical and a practical context. Hence our course thread connects business courses with engineering courses, and reading-intensive courses with practice-driven courses.


SESAME (Studies in Engineering, Science and Mathematics Education) Minor and Courses

The SESAME program is a cross-campus graduate group that includes faculty in Biology, Chemistry, Education, Engineering, Mathematics, and Statistics. As education is a key component of graduate education, particularly for doctoral students who intend to pursue academic careers, we have developed a set of courses that could be used for a SESAME minor for doctoral qualifying exams and studies in engineering and sciences. Many universities are including educational research as components of a faculty member's research contributions. See promotion policies on the Scholarship of Teaching at a number of universities, including UC Berkekley.
