Students who earn an Experience Design Minor from EWU should be able to:

• apply basic design principles and processes–constructing narratives and scenarios for the sequencing of the design process and describing the user experience;
• effectively use technology–assessing skills to learn technology and recognizing that technological change is constant;
• research, reflect, and discuss design problems–selecting methods such as using databases, asking questions, observing users and developing prototypes, brainstorming, offline research skills, interviewing, and combining multiple sources;
• understand people and place—collaborate with others to design experiences and/or artifacts for people and the (built and natural) environment.
