Course Objective	Course Overview: This course aims to familiarize students with research methods in the design field, balancing academic outputs with practical applications. Through the latest literature produced under the concept of research-driven design, students will understand current research trends. The course will gradually guide students to become proficient in research methods. Course Objectives: Design science research emphasizes creating and solving practical, real-world problems. The goal is to develop solutions with practical value that can be implemented in practice or to further validate designs. Students will learn to: * Understand the scope and trends of design science. * Comprehend how to formulate research propositions and design research methods. * Grasp quantitative and qualitative research methods. * Interpret and visualize research findings. * Formulate research propositions, frameworks, processes, and methods.
