Due to the potential overlap between the human-centered design courses and existing majors, there is potential for creating a program of study that does not add significant value beyond a straight major. Students pursuing the modification should have a proposed plan showing the following:
- a strong intellectual rationale
- something new and significant that is not possible with the straight major
- no significant overlap in courses between the modifier and the primary field of the major
Prerequisites
Unless otherwise prohibited, prerequisites may be taken under the non-recording option. Any course being used to satisfy major or minor requirements beyond the prerequisites, may not be taken under the non-recording option.
COURSE TYPE | NUMBER OF REQUIRED COURSES | COURSES |
---|---|---|
Mathematics |
1 course |
MATH 3: Calculus |
Section 1: Design Foundation* |
2 courses |
ENGS 12: Design Thinking |
* Prerequisite courses may be taken concurrently with most other required elective courses. When feasible, it is recommended that students take ENGS 12 before ENGS 21.
Required Courses
COURSE TYPE | NUMBER OF REQUIRED COURSES | COURSES |
---|---|---|
Electives |
4 courses |
Choose 4 courses, from the following with at least one being from each section: Ethnographic Methods and Human Factors/Psychology* Design** |
* Courses in psychology require PSYC 1 or PSYC 6 as a prerequisite. Check with Dartmouth’s Undergraduate Registrar for the exact requirements. For engineering sciences majors, only ENGS courses numbered 20 or below may count toward the minor.
** Before taking courses under “Section 3: Design Electives,” it is recommended that students complete both courses under “Section 1: Design Foundation” and at least one course under “Section 2: Ethnographic Methods and Human Factors/Psychology.” No engineering sciences courses numbered 20 and above may be taken under the Non-Recording Option.
