UE-HCI Lab – Design Management unit contributed towards encouraging interdisciplinary project activities amongst students’ clubs and different departments coming together to work on DIY technical projects that have immediate Social relevance. This collaboration is UE-HCI labs contribution towards formulation of the proposed 4i Lab at IITG which it has been actively pursuing since 2007. A two-day marathon session was organized under the coordination of Dr. Prasad Bokil in which UE-HCI lab was invited to present Designing Methodology and Innovation through Design Thinking to students of IITG.

First Expression of Interest proposal report to IITG Administration was submitted by UE-HCI lab in 2007 for setting up of the Design Innovation Centre at IITG. The Lab had adopted Innovation by design as its strategy in the year 2003. It incorporated elements of Innovation into the B.Des curriculum through Design Methods and Design Management courses right from 2003-04 onwards. It proposed the Hub-Spoke theme (Fig below) for the Centre for Innovation set up in 2014-15 at DoD- IITG.
