Abstract :
The process for ideation through sketching is introduced as a structured approach to prototype development and subsequent user testing is discussed. Critical thinking skills, adaptability and innovation are key attributes demanded in today´s workplace. These can be demonstrated through an iterative design process where students learn to engage with users to validate ideas and identify flaws.
