S&DE Atelier: Design 101

This course is divided in two interleaved parts: On the one hand we will go through a small software & data engineering project together. At the same time, this course teaches students a series of universal design principles that can be used for a number of tasks, such as enhancing the way a design is perceived, help people learning from a design, increase the usability and appeal of a design, and ultimately make better design decisions to create new and ameliorate existing designs. The principles are then put to practice in a series of contexts, such as graph design, table design, slide design, presentation design, etc. Ultimately, the principles will be applied to the software and data engineering project.
