Pohang University of Science and Technology
Pohang, South Korea

POSTECH opened its doors in 1986 as the first research-oriented university in Korea to educate the brightest minds in the country and lead the transition of Korea’s higher education from dissemination to creation of knowledge. Since its establishment over 30 years ago, POSTECH has taken on numerous challenges and innovations to revolutionize the culture of and raise the bar for scientific research in Korea.

Now, POSTECH is poised to take another leap forward over the next three decades. Driven by the open and fearless spirit to tackle the unknown, it will serve as a flagship university that proposes a new role for value creation in society. POSTECH will continue to dedicate itself to its mission of providing the finest education and fostering talented youth into leaders equipped with a comprehensive and essential skill set for the future. Also, we will further build upon the research excellence POSTECH has achieved thus far to make direct contributions not only in expanding boundaries of scientific knowledge but also in leading the socio-economic progress of the country and region.

Course Description

This Computational Design Thinking and Fabrication Studio introduces to the programming design and the art of software development. Students will practice how to think like designers with computational thinking such as modularization, abstraction, algorithms and encapsulation. Throughout this course, students will learn how to integrate their own design thinking such as “problem setting” or “problem re-framing” with procedural, object-oriented and eXtreme programming paradigms. Daily sketching and diagramming exercises will enhance learners own “figuring-out” process of using programming for empowering their design cognition. The purpose of this exercise is training students how to transform their design ideas into programming structures through segmented sketching and diagramming practices. This studio, accordingly, will provide a foundation of architectural way of using computational thinking, and work as a prelude to high-level programming.
