> “The bad thing about computers is that they make everything run very fast, so fast that you can have a baby in nine weeks instead of nine months. But you still need nine months, not nine weeks, to make a baby.” Some teaching programs have taken steps to remedy, or at least mitigate, the situation. Yale has a summer program in Rome in which students are required to sketch by hand. McGill University continues to require classes in freehand life drawing and sketching school in the summer. The University of Miami introduces computers only in the second year of its program.
This all sounds so bad--like a cargo cult. Design isn't the building blocks on which code is built, it's the other way around. As you make larger more complex programs, you need the higher level picture to organize your processes. I certainly hope these programs are for UX.

- karmakaze 3y agoThat makes some sense. I remember thinking I might like Architecture combining aesthetics and engineering, then I met some in the program and thought I'm not weird enough--so not a (cargo) cult :-)
