Design thinking vs. design skills
Simon
”...Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones. The intellectual activity that produces material artifacts is no different fundamentally from the one that prescribes remedies for a sick patient or the one that devises a new sales plan for a company or a social welfare policy for a state. Design, so construed, is the core of all professional training; it is the principal mark that distinguishes the professions from the sciences. Schools of engineering, as well as schools of architecture, business, education, law, and medicine, are all centrally concerned with the process of design.”
The Sciences of the Artificial, 1969

Other schools
Design planning – IIT
The School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) was created when The TechnicalUniversity of British Columbia was merged with SimonFraserUniversity.
There are several key factors that differentiate this program from those of more traditional design schools. In particular, we emphasize the need to balance the technical (utilitarian and performance) with the human (cognitive, social and cultural) parameters throughout the design development process by building an active dialogue with prospective users. In addition the program advocates structured field-testing as an integral part of the methodology to validate the combined goals of function, utility, performance and experience. The dual intentions here are to ensure that designs are appropriate to their receptor communities and to strengthen the relationship between theory and practice. Another key difference is clearly evident in the unique structure and delivery of the curriculum designed to respond to the demands of the technological change that is radically reshaping our world today

We believe in learning by doing in a human-centered design process and in the value design brings to a range of human activities.
