Abstract

Graduates of computer science and related degrees represent the capability to continue the evolution of technologies and drive the future in emerging technologies. Some of these graduates will be technological leaders, innovating and pushing the boundaries of technological possibilities throughout their careers. Even though it is a popular opinion that ‘the technical' and ‘design' do not mix, the author's proposition is that graduates with technological degrees must also be ‘design leaders. Design is imperative to meet the needs and desires of users; the design provides some solution to a problem in a user or human-centered manner. Equipping technological students with capabilities for both technological leadership and design leadership will help ensure a human-centered vision for our technological future.
