Studies demonstrate the impact of pivotal innovations on contemporary life and behavior. Factors influencing technological breakthroughs (including available resources, social influences, economic conditions, scientific developments and design vision) will be discussed. Classes, discussions and assignments develop the relationship between technological innovation and the evolution of design and society for developing skills in specific applications.
