EGR 202 - Creativity & Design Thinking, 2 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): EGR 102 and ENG 131
Prerequisite/Corequisite: EGR 200 may be taken concurrently.

In Creativity & Design Thinking students unpack each step of the design thinking process and become familiar with the design thinker’s toolkit. Students will develop skills as visual thinkers, strategists, and storytellers through a hybrid of lecture, seminar-type discussions, and collaborative projects. Students will learn a set of creative thinking tools and gain an introductory overview of the theoretical models of creativity. The creative thinking tools and experiential learning activities in the course offer the necessary background for EGR 306 Product Design & Entrepreneurship and upper level design projects.
