  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> The University of Queensland has recently established a new design-focused, studio-based computer science degree. The <jats:italic>Bachelor of Information Environments</jats:italic> degree augments the core courses from the University's standard CS degree with a stream of design courses and integrative studio-based projects undertaken every semester. The studio projects integrate and reinforce learning by requiring students to apply the knowledge and skills gained in other courses to open-ended real-world design projects. The studio model is based on the architectural studio and involves teamwork, collaborative learning, interactive problem solving, presentations and peer review. This paper describes the degree program, its curriculum and rationale, and reports on experiences in the first year of delivery. </jats:p>
