In this interactive two-hour workshop with an academic and/or postgraduate ambassadors, students will develop their understanding of the CDIO (conceive, design, implement, operate) process which underpins CCCU’s progressive approach to computing and engineering learning. Students will deepen their understanding of a user-centred design process as they create a user persona to test the suitability and effectiveness of a pre-determined product/service and critically examine the extent to which the service/product meets the needs of the intended audience.
