Series Intro
Human Factors Applications
As this course was a lecture, there isn't much to show in terms of projects. We learned a lot about how the discipline of measuring the body to inform design-decisions for products and environments evolved, how and where it is used and how to measure and use those measurements in practice.
As a final project we did build a scrappy GERT suit. The class was divided into small groups, each of which built one part of the suit. and sure enough, it actually did make you feel old.
My team got lucky and we drew vision as our part of the suit. We started with some research about common vision impairments and then figured out how we could simulate them. Another team member got cracking on the actual glasses and after three iterations we landed on the ski-goggly-sort-of-3d-glasses-esk glasses. And thanks to tiny magnets we were able to build multiple attachments with different kinds of visual impairments which you can simply hot-swap while wearing.
Organizational Behaviour
„I might be biased, but this might be the most important course you'll take“ said Prof. Molly McGowan on the first day. And sure enough she ended up being right. This lecture from the college of business was all about interpersonal relationships, workplace culture, conflict, motivation and how to improve business effectiveness, efficiency and employee satisfaction.
Similarly to the Human Factors class, OB was also lecture only. And since this was a course from the college of business, it was actually lecture only – including papers and exams!
All in all a wonderful course which should be a required course across all disciplines, as it would make working in teams so much easier for everybody!!!
The Bottom Line
I am happy to say, that this whole experience was possibly the best thing I ever did. At least as far as education and life-experience goes. I met so many incredible people, got to enjoy projects by amazing professors and deepen my understanding of Design and my place within the field.
Everybody from RIT was incredibly helpful, attentive and oh so kind. And I can only encourage everybody who is remotely thinking about going to RIT for an exchange semester to just do it! And maybe even consider adding another semester, since there is just so much to see and do!
