The MDes program learning in Woodhaven Regional Park.
UBC Okanagan’s Master of Design (MDes) professional graduate program recently welcomed its inaugural cohort of students.
Rooted in critical design thinking, creative practice and design principles, the program—collaboratively delivered by the School of Engineering (SoE) and Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies (FCCS)—empowers students to tackle real-world challenges alongside industry, community and public sector partners.
In this blog series, Professor Dr. Kenneth Chau and the MDes Team reflect on the cohort’s journey as they work together to solve pressing societal problems and embrace new ways of learning, teaching and innovating.
