The Intro to Human-Centered Design course, offered through Harvey Mudd\u2019s engineering department, was first taught by the Hive teaching team in Spring of 2016 by Vida Mia Garcia and Pat Little (HMC Emeritus professor). Over the last decade, approximately 500 students have explored, prototyped, and tested their ideas through the Intro to HCD class, now taught on a rotating basis by Director Fred Leichter, Associate Director Shannon Randolph, and Senior Associate Director Asha Srikantiah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the \u201cin-house\u201d classes we offer, several 5C professors teach their courses in Studio 1 and 2 each semester.

It introduces core concepts of community engagement, participatory planning, and landscape design, helping students situate themselves as technical and political aides for resident change efforts. The discipline of urban planning has a profound impact on the lives of people across the city, encompassing social, economic, environmental, and health-related aspects. All too often, though, this impact has been delivered unequally, along the familiar lines of race, class, and gender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the course, students examine urban public spaces in Los Angeles through the lenses of homelessness, gender equity, and racial justice. They employ a participatory planning approach to reimagine these spaces, designing them with the voices of diverse communities that have been historically overlooked during design and planning processes. Students engage in action-based research, community engagement, and mapping, using design and programming strategies to create proposals that better serve those communities that need access to public spaces most.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Design + Equity:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>taught by Asha Srikantiah and Kareem Collie<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Design and Equity seminar is a course offered by Harvey Mudd College at the Hive, typically taught by Professor Asha Srikantiah. The seminar format brings together students who are passionate about exploring the intersection of design and social equity. Inspired by both student interest and our faculty\u2019s commitment to rethinking design education, the course serves as a full-credit option open to students across the 7Cs. With a curriculum built around collaborative exploration, students engage with diverse media, including readings, audio content, news articles, and social media, fostering conversations that reflect, challenge, and expand their understanding of design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The class emphasizes learning through reading, discussion, and hands-on making, with students designing and executing three creative projects throughout the semester.
