Lyn: /* Year Two */

===Year Two===

Needs to be: permeable, front porch, has to be hospitable, deal with BA/BSc issue, high face validity, amenable to freshmen.

'''Courses/Areas'''

Art

Critical and Creative Thinking [W]

Cognition

Culture

Programming

Media

Drawing/prototyping

Design

Basics of technological systems
* [lyn] Here's a first cut.
** Basics of Information Technology Systems: A survey course in information systems and issues associated with their use. Provides a broad-based introduction to computer hardware, software, networking, devices, telecommunications and information structures.

+ electives

Also -- Deal with BA and BSc distinction

'''AND/OR ... '''

What's the "there" "there"? -- In a single course address for the student: Why am I at SIAT? vs. letting them to put it together from bits and pieces from different courses.

Introductory courses to core idea of school -- 1 or 2 courses -- this is why you are here and what you might do when you get out.

'''Options:'''

maybe - Introduction to SIAT --> can you do an analysis of experience of technolgoy AND can you design an interactive technology system --> allows us to create a course to recruit to SIAT AND define what we mean by design AND show the kinds of things you might create in SIAT.

maybe - second year spring term integrated project courses (synthsis course) --> first crack of integrating all the bits from second year -- but can't sell this course outside SIAT

maybe - solid cross referencing between courses (default)

Meeting 13 September 2006

Lyn:

This page contains the outcomes of discussion on 13 September 2006.

Short summary: Introduction of a new merged set of Design courses/curriculum,
plus further refinement of first and second year courses.

There is still the unresolved issue of one too many classes in year 2.

There is still the unresolved issue of the Upper Division Design specialization.

More details from Diane shortly. 
(from lyn) 
I notice a glaring lack of one area explicitly identified and that is HCI. I believe we need to own this domain, or someone else will claim it and we will be undercut. It is a foundational area to much of SIAT. Many of the proposed areas and courses and paths to completiuon implicitrly rely on it. So i propose that we amend the second year core as follows:

4. Course area #4 called "Cognition" be retargeted as HCI (introduction to). WE can suggest that basic Psych 101 is a good background for this course. It will certainly incorporate some aspects of human cognition in it. In essence this course area has to recapture both elements of 200 and 201 while bringing in additional aspects of HCI.
* note that for articulation purposes we could take any HCI course at second or third year as an equivalent.
