The science of art; the art of science In Human Ecology, we design for a purpose and use technology to facilitate how we respond to human environments. Students learn to incorporate perspectives from psychology, economics, and health into their work, while engaging their creative minds. Students gain an understanding of the various ways in which people utilize and are affected by design, and this in turn informs their design process. Students are prepared for big picture roles after graduation because of the comprehensive education.
