is a seminar course that explores new ways of utilizing computational technology for improving the quality of life and humans condition as well as making a positive impact on society. It allows students to apply computing to social and global causes such as democratic decision making, climate change, health, &nbsp;education, urban design, transportation, infrastructure, and civic engagement. In this course, students will read and discuss the state of the art papers, participate in group discussions, and carry out research projects that address real-world problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000\">Course Structure<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;font-size: 12px;line-height: normal;font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;vertical-align: baseline\">The course will involve discussion, presentation, and group work during class.

If you have a documented physical, psychological, or learning disability on file with Disability Services (DS), you may be eligible for reasonable academic accommodations to help you succeed in this course. If you have a documented disability that requires accommodation, please notify me within the first two weeks of the semester so that we may make appropriate arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Academic Honesty Statement<\/strong><\/span><br><span style=\"color: #000000\">Since the integrity of the academic enterprise of any institution of higher education requires honesty in scholarship and research, academic honesty is required of all students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Academic dishonesty is prohibited in all programs of the University. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to: cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and facilitating dishonesty. Appropriate sanctions may be imposed on any student who has committed an act of academic dishonesty. Instructors should take reasonable steps to address academic misconduct. Any person who has reason to believe that a student has committed academic dishonesty should bring such information to the attention of the appropriate course instructor as soon as possible. Instances of academic dishonesty not related to a specific course should be brought to the attention of the appropriate department Head or Chair. Since students are expected to be familiar with this policy and the commonly accepted standards of academic integrity, ignorance of such standards is not normally sufficient evidence of lack of intent (<a style=\"color: #000000\" href=\"http:\/\/www.umass.edu\/dean_students\/codeofconduct\/acadhonesty\/\">http:\/\/www.umass.edu\/dean_students\/codeofconduct\/acadhonesty\/<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Inclusivity Statement<\/strong><\/span><br><span style=\"color: #000000\">In this course, each voice in the classroom has&nbsp;something of value to contribute.

Examples of potential technologies are mobile applications, online platforms, interactive 2D interfaces, interactive 3D devices, and so on. Your team will choose a topic from the list provided below which will seed your project. You will identify a clear problem to be addressed (or potential design opportunity), and will then create a working prototype that meets their needs, which you will evaluate. Following the design thinking process, there are approximately 6 project milestones, as well as a final demo session to showcase your working prototypes. Meeting the project milestones is crucial in completing the project successfully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\"><strong>Team formation:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">The first step in the research project is to form a team.
