Advancing UX Education: A Model for Integrated Studio Pedagogy

This comprehensive model promotes the simultaneous development of multiple skills and knowledge within an environment that reflects the intricacies and practicalities of UX practice. Integration is accomplished through two interconnected studio types that span across five semesters of the students' undergraduate studies. This integration is further reinforced by course prerequisites in complementary fields such as psychology, communication, leadership, and global awareness.
