Bryant IDEA (Innovation and Design Experience for All): a fast-paced, intensive three-day experiential learning program for all first-year students, taking place on January 25-27, 2016. IDEA represents a key component in Bryant's unique integrated Gateway curriculum. The 13 credit Gateway consists of five courses all focused on a set of common learning outcomes.
I read somewhere that a good designer always asks the question - "Why is it like that and not like this"? when he sees a product. That's my moto for now on and it really helps me when i'm in my industrial design studio.
Asking "Why?" is important. But closed questions often start with "Why, Who, What, When, Where," and often elicit less complex answers. You can also try asking open questions, ones that start with interrogatives like "How." Asking "How?" can lead you to some great places. Good luck!
