Student Work
From week-long prototyping sprints to year-long thesis projects, our STEM-designated program centers on three-dimensional, physical design, supported by interaction, service, and experience design.
WHEN NO ONE BELIEVES YOU: Redesigning the Rape Kit and Responses to Sexual Assault
Antya Waegemann’s thesis, When No One Believes You: Redesigning the Rape Kit and Responses to Sexual Assault, proposes six different design interventions for sexual assault victims, nurses and the police, to increase report rates, improve the experience of getting a rape kit, and increase rape kit testing, as well as to reduce stigma and shame around sexual assault and increase accountability.
GLARE: Urban Longboard Skateboard with Safety "Uplight"
Glare is a longboard skateboard brand designed for the urban commuter. The core technology is the Uplight—a long-wavelength beam of light projected upward onto the rider which increases nighttime visibility and thereby reduces the risk of collision with cars. Designed by second-year students Qixuan Wang, Eugenia Ramos, Micah Lynn, and André Orta, the project brief was “to identify a subculture, design a product to suit a need or opportunity within that community, and then finally design a brand around that product.”
