miami design collabora8ve… what is it? The Miami Design Collabora8ve is a mul8‐disciplinary design ini8a8ve at Miami University that brings together students and faculty from throughout campus to develop exper8se in design thinking and to implement that knowledge through complex, team‐based, problem‐solving experiences. Design‐based experiences cluster together under one umbrella to posi8on, promote and clarify rela8onships and opportuni8es both on‐campus and beyond. MDC integrates faculty and students in every academic division into a “networked” curriculum that will offer a cer8ficate program that complements a student’s major. Students: • experience design process and development through project‐based learning. • engage with industry and organiza8ons outside of Miami University’s physical boundaries. • extend tradi8onal disciplines by building theory and prac8ce on mul8‐disciplinary fron8ers. • expand understanding through the incorpora8on of contemporary social issues.

armstrong interac8ve dublin: summer 08 Armstrong Interac8ve, another of the Miami Design Collabora8ve curricular offerings, is a client‐based capstone course which goes interna8onal each summer, most recently in Shanghai and Dublin. A recent client wrote “This class has met and exceeded all my expecta8ons for ‘redefining’ our corporate image. I would put the work your class produced for us up against any agency and know you would equal and probably surpass many.” The images represent parts of the Dublin project: to create an interac8ve career planner. The workshop was led by Glenn PlaY, Jim Coyle, Peg Faimon and Ira Greenberg.
