Apart from disciplinary courses emphasizing design, students from both programsare required to take a two course sequence in their senior year: the Senior Seminar (two semester-credits) and the Senior Design Project (three semester-credits). In the Senior Seminar coursestudents are introduced to some general design ideation concepts like brainstorming, brainwriting,collaborative sketching, morphological analysis, transformational design using mind-mapping,design by analogy, TRIZ, and the S-field theory.
