Course Description:
Students address a design challenge that is presented at the start of the term. Over the course of 14 weeks students work in small teams to
prototype
and develop ideas in response to the challenge; classes take the form of critique sessions of these ideas and their presentation.
This year's theme, still being finalized, revolves around connectivity -- what happens when the mesh of people and machines grows both denser and faster? Several
other universities from various countries may also participate in the Microsoft Design Expo. One of the project teams from each university is invited to present their work
to the research and design groups at Microsoft in Redmond, WA over the summer.
My team and I have proposed a new alternative to the traditional form of parole called eParloe which you can view in detail from project 4 and so forth.
Its my opinion that the traditional form of punishment and deterrence is not working and we have presented a idea in which we would use a suite of networked tools which would constant monitor and restrict the travel
of non-violent criminals offenders inside the very society that they will eventually be introduced back into. For more info please view the following pdf files.
