The document proposes a new major in Human-centered Design & Development that takes an experience design approach to curriculum creation. The curriculum is organized around six skill strands and uses learning goals, activities, feedback, and learning studios to teach technical skills, design, user research, humanities, entrepreneurship, and global awareness. It presents a vision persona of Sarah, a graduate who leads multi-disciplinary teams through the user-centered design process to create innovative digital products.
