Abstract
The design thinking approach which shapes the design culture of many organizations today, focuses on users’ experiences, particularly their emotional ones, and strives to develop smart technologies and other complex systems and make them simple, intuitive and pleasurable. During design thinking processes, development teams are required to build empathy with users, observe their behavior and conclude and describe what they want and need, by using emotional language such as desire, love and aspire. Moreover, emotional attributes and notations are inserted into current modeling languages for expressing emotional goals and motivations for realizing users’ perceptions of systems. For fostering design thinking capabilities, universities offer multidisciplinary learning opportunities where engineers and designers learn and practice together design thinking in development processes. In this regard, Shenkar, College of Engineering, Design and Art, provides students with several multidisciplinary learning opportunities in courses and workshops. This paper reports on these opportunities and brings insights and recommendations for enhancing the next multidisciplinary teaching events. The recommendations draw on the current body of literature in the areas of design thinking approach, agile framework and creativity, and address: defining open challenges that appeal to each discipline; handling teams’ working process and responsibilities; and outlining expected solution that encompasses multidisciplinary capabilities.
