About the Information and Interaction Design (IID) Major at Techno-Art Division
The Information and Interaction Design (IID) Major aims to prepare our students to realize their potential as designers and agents of social change who can respond to the problems and challenges that are constantly emerging in our daily lives. As the new technologies are revolutionizing our communication process and information landscape, designers of today are expected to tackle the more complex problems in the conception, planning, and production of effective information systems and the exploration of new forms of interaction. We believe that designers of the future are not mere form-givers to 2D screen or 3D objects; they are creative thinkers who are able to discover new possibilities and meticulously shape form of the behavior of products, services, environments, and systems that embrace real-world challenges. Based on the principle of human-centered design, the Information and Interaction Design Major enables our students to become mediators in diverse contexts, leveraging their roles through the synthesis of creative design approaches, relevant technology, and a rigorous and systematic thinking through research.
