Airing Dirty Laundry
One thing that is annoying about my program is how woefully under-promoted it is. There's no reason that someone from CMU shouldn't be included in these types of conversations about design education. It's sort of embarrassing we weren't, honestly. I was equally saddened and amazed at how many people at the IA Summit had never even heard of the interaction design program here. And I'm talking to people in the profession and in academia!CMU's design school has a great reputation among those who know about us. The problem is that not enough people do. And I think it is a combination of a lot of things that I see schools like Ivrea, Art Center, and IIT doing a better job of. These include (but aren't limited to) a reasonable website, befitting a design school (rumored to be coming); hosting/sponsoring a small but visible conference like HITS; and a higher output in papers, design work, and visibility/speaking engagements from the core faculty. The addition of Shelley Evenson this past year was a step in the right direction on the last count, but clearly there is work that needs to be done.
