In this course, students will dive into the management of professional design projects by working with real clients in the department's client studio. Students will be guided in learning important project management skills like task planning, scheduling, and budgeting. They will work collaboratively, improving their skills in communication, problem solving, creative thinking, and leadership by completing projects in teams. Alongside their client projects, students will also complete various instructor-led projects related to both project management and design fundamentals.
