Siebel Center for Design

Research Scholars

The Siebel Center for Design offers students unique opportunities to grow as research scholars. Through hands-on engagement in research projects, our scholars learn how to:

  • Conduct literature reviews that ground their work in existing knowledge.
  • Collect, code, and analyze data using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
  • Share insights by presenting at conferences locally, nationally, and internationally.
  • Transform ideas into impact by writing and publishing manuscripts.

To date, more than twenty Research Scholars have been part of SCD’s Assessment and Research team. Many of them have gone on to become faculty members, education leaders, and professionals in industry and non-profit sectors. Their research experiences at SCD have served as a foundation for their careers and amplified their capacity to bring human-centered design into diverse fields.
