Dear Don,
Glad to hear this.
I've just launched a program on July 2013 on the topic here at PUC's
Engineering school in Chile. It is based not only on research but also in
the multidisciplinary vocation that design has (it includes content based
on: cognition, visualization, design-anthropology, team negotiation,
design-technical skills, within others). You can check our ongoing
prototype here: www.di-lab.cl . Let us know if you would like to talk, we
are interested in networking with similar programs around the globe.
Cheers!
