The senior mobility studio will stress the consideration of user experience and social impact in designing fleets of vehicles for public use. Students will explore these facets by researching the communities and larger regional populations their designs are intended for. Sustainable materials and processes will be investigated, as well as emerging cultural and technical trends. Advanced presentations to sponsors will illustrate the user-focused nature of the students’ concepts, as well as the students’ readiness to transition to the professional world. Occasionally, course content may be reinforced through field trips to professional design studio or factories.
