MSU students build new product to help dementia patients in MSU’s Design Sandbox for Engaged Learning – DSEL

To create the concept, the team used the "design thinking" process they learned through DSEL http://www.montana.edu/dsel/ . The method focuses on the needs of a product’s users, employing empathy, brainstorming, iterative design, rapid prototyping and critique, explained Meta Newhouse, MSU associate professor in graphic design and DSEL’s founding director.

Both times the class has been offered, there were more applicants than spots, Newhouse said.

"I think [DSEL’s innovative ideation] is one of the most marketable classes," said adjunct engineering professor Jay Zignego, who team-taught the class with Newhouse and adjunct marketing professor Jake Cook.
