Oh, wow. For the designerd deep inside you (ormaybe not so deep), I don't hink it gets any better than this. Who likes math club? Well UT has math club for dummies! What scissors? Glue? What do I need to know about math for? For making neat'o puzzle designs, of course! Jeezy!

Speaking of interdisciplinary... don't loose hope design lovers. Not all business types think that innovation is a four letter word.

Run by an electrical engineer/finance MBA, with global experience, plus strong recognition of the value of design and innovation. Great stuff.

Usability is important to design. How do people make decisions?

p.s. I'm sick of UT Design students selling themselves short, and not even applying for cool jobs because you don't think you're qualified. If we're not qualified for a job that we think we'd like, then shouldn't we be spending our time learning what we need to get ourselves qualified? If we think that's a waste of our time, the only good reason I can think of, is because we already know it, and thus are qualified, and should apply. Um... go git'em tiger. Ya-woo!
