Redefining Creativity: Designing Human Connections in an AI World

With the recent developments in generative AI, the value in human creativity is increasingly a focus. Course draws from lessons from creativity in the arts to teach engineering students methods for creativity derived from musicians and artists. For our engineering students to learn creativity as a skill that is distinguishable and differentiated from generative artificial intelligence, this course explores, for instance the anatomy of a Hollywood pop song and the process behind the creation of globally impactful art. Students learn how to transfer these skills into the creation of engaging entrepreneurial solutions, for effective storytelling, and in developing their unique personal and professional stories. Students learn skills to unlock creative power which they will apply in the course as a design vehicle for a wide range of applications in engineering, self-expression, technological exploration, and the development of solutions that are centered around human connection and emotional engagement with the user. Sessions are practical, drawing tools and lessons from interdisciplinary individuals with wide-ranging careers. No artistic or entrepreneurial experience necessary.
