Other CMU bloggers
Dan Saffer is doing a nice job writing about our program. Wish I’d done the same. His posts on what is an art and what is a product are key to understanding the way we think about Design (yes, big D) in our program.
So, lots of good stuff, though Rob, who’s a masters student across the campus in HCI, finds it frustrating:
I’ve been half-trying to avoid reading Dan’s posts about Design Seminar recently, although not because they aren’t good. Every time I do, I feel like a penniless, hungry child looking in a bakery window; I can see the wondrous pastries and smell their delectable smells, but I’m helplessly tormented by the knowledge that I’ll never get.
That was from Rob’s post on the role of higher education in becoming a skilled professional, comparing trade schools to universities. Recently I’ve been interviewing HCI and interaction design students here at CMU recently to help some professors understand and clarify about the role of interaction design here, and Rob’s weblog brings an interesting perspective.
