JDII Genesis $20 million pledged by Paul and Stacy Jacobs in May 2013. • Berkeley Alums, long-time supporters of CoEand the campus. • Goal is a 24,000 sqft, 3.5-story building North of Soda Hall. “In our interconnected innovation economy, it is not enough to provide our future engineering leaders with technical skills,… They must also learn how to work in interdisciplinary teams, how to iterate designs rapidly, how to manufacture sustainably, how to combine art and engineering, and how to address global markets.” - Paul Jacobs, Clinton Global Initiative 2013.
JDII Background Themes: • Real-world problems and needs • Innovation through building • Rapid prototyping • Interdisciplinarity • Design for sustainable manufacturing • Global markets
JDII Background Synergies: • CITRIS Invention Lab • Mech. Eng. Workshop(under JDII) • Cal Design Lab • BID Lab • Capstone design courses in CoE • BCNM, VCL, I-School, Architecture,… • Maker Movement • MOOCs, Flipped Classrooms, Studio Model, Modular Curriculum
JDII Priorities Undergraduate Instruction: • Concentration in Design for Engineering Majors • Requirements TBD, a curriculum committee is working on this (3 elective courses w/ core course)? • Minor in Design for non-Engineering Majors • 5 courses, only one sharable with the Major Goal of around 2000 student-courses per semester. Hands-on, studio courses. Small groups around a workbench. The Studio/Classroom: Projectors + Critique space + Lots of vertical work surfaces
