The College of Design is engaged in research related to the investigation, creation, and validation of methods or processes used in the development of design concepts for communication, products, and environments.

The goals of this work are to:

• study observational, physical, transactional, organizational, and informational tools and improve these tools in relation to the enhancement of user participation
• expand the role of users in the design problem solving process (moving them from consumers to co-creators)
• develop new strategies for understanding and describing user contexts and settings (physical and virtual)

Participating Faculty:
Professors Haig Khachatoorian, Robin Moore, and Art Rice; Associate Professors Perver Baran (GIS) and John Tector.
