Description This subject engages students in a significant project that synthesises creative thinking, design strategy and practical design skills in preparation to be 'work-ready' as a designer upon graduation. Students will apply the skills that they have acquired throughout their degree in core and specialised elective subjects toward their Design Capstone project. The amalgamation of multidisciplinary viewpoints with industry collaborators throughout the subject ensures a vibrant learning environment, culminating in well resolved design outcomes within a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Framework with linkages to a real-world challenge.
