Designing Futurists

We are one of just 30 design factories in the world working to find what男女操逼视频软件檚 needed for the workforce of tomorrow.

For Seidenberg professor Andreea Cotoranu, Pace feels like home (for her even more than for most). 男女操逼视频软件淚 have a long history here. I started as an undergrad, earned my degree in information systems, got a position with the University, went on to get my master男女操逼视频软件檚, and have moved between different roles in the Seidenberg School of CSIS. Now, I work in the same department that I graduated from.男女操逼视频软件�

Cotoranu came to Pace from Romania as an international student and volleyball player. At the time, her priority was making sure she could go to a college where she could study as well as continue to play as an athlete. Once she arrived at Pace, she started to focus on her academic and career interests男女操逼视频软件攁nd a love of IT and cybersecurity took hold. 男女操逼视频软件淢y interest in cybersecurity started in grad school. I had great professors and hands-on lab work. It was exciting. I男女操逼视频软件檝e always been interested in science and technology, and I saw opportunities to develop the programs here. I男女操逼视频软件檝e used my own experience to build out programs for other students.男女操逼视频软件�

男女操逼视频软件淲e use design thinking, systems thinking, and futures thinking. They are designing solutions for 2030.男女操逼视频软件�

Since those days, Cotoranu has had a big presence in Seidenberg. She男女操逼视频软件檚 served as assistant dean for academic innovation, is the principal investigator on an NSA-funded grant aiming to expand cybersecurity education at the high school level, and she男女操逼视频软件檚 the director of the New York City Design Factory at Pace男女操逼视频软件攁n innovation hub for students, faculty, international collaborators, and industry partners, one that designs solutions to modern challenges and promotes innovative teaching and learning. 男女操逼视频软件淚n the Design Factory, we bring the process and the context for learning to the forefront. It男女操逼视频软件檚 interdisciplinary and involves undergrads, grads, and international students. We are one of just 30 design factories in the world working to find what男女操逼视频软件檚 needed for the workforce of tomorrow.男女操逼视频软件�

Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 NYC Design Factory is part of the Design Factory Global Network, a consortium of innovation hubs at universities around the world. Through this network, student teams work together on global issues. 男女操逼视频软件淥ur staple programs are the field studies with international collaborators. We travel to their institutions, and they come to us. Right now, our host is CERN in Switzerland, and our focus is on health.男女操逼视频软件�

Students participating in the field study conducted research on health and healthcare in New York and in the US, and then went to CERN to trade information with the CERN students who were studying health and healthcare in Switzerland. 男女操逼视频软件淐onnecting with other teams is an important part of the process男女操逼视频软件攚e call it a two-week intensive. And it is really intense: 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. every day, including Saturdays. Pace students pitch ideas to the CERN students, get feedback, go back and refine男女操逼视频软件攁nd vice versa.男女操逼视频软件�

Students are also pushed to think beyond the current moment and design for problems of the future. 男女操逼视频软件淲e use design thinking, systems thinking, and futures thinking. They are designing solutions for 2030.男女操逼视频软件� Pace students have developed, pitched, and prototyped ideas like noise-pollution-absorbing drones and cooling systems that can preserve fresh food supplies at a massive scale. 男女操逼视频软件淔orcing students to think about what男女操逼视频软件檚 needed in the future creates a safe space for them to experiment, to explore, and to let their imaginations go wild.男女操逼视频软件� And for Cotoranu, that男女操逼视频软件檚 the best part男女操逼视频软件攕eeing her students learn and grow. 男女操逼视频软件淚t男女操逼视频软件檚 the typical educator answer, but having the opportunity to have an impact on a student男女操逼视频软件檚 life, to help them grow, and to build them up, it is genuinely the most fulfilling.男女操逼视频软件�
