After the first class of Design Thinking and Innovation, I learned that design is not only about

making things look nice, but also about solving problems in a useful way. Before this lesson, I
usually focused on finding answers quickly without thinking deeply about the real problem.
However, after the class, I understood that Design Thinking is a purposeful process that focuses
on real human needs and goes through many stages such as empathizing, defining problems,
generating ideas, testing, and improving solutions. Through the examples in class, especially the
story about the truck stuck under the bridge, I realized that simple ideas can sometimes solve
problems better than complicated solutions.
The part I found most interesting was the “Empathize” stage in Design Thinking. I understood
that before solving a problem, we should first understand other people’s needs and feelings. This
made me think differently about studying and working with others.
As a first-year student in Port Management and Logistics, I think this way of thinking is very
important because in logistics there are always unexpected problems that need flexible solutions.
After the class, I tried to apply this in my group work by listening more carefully to my
classmates’ ideas before giving my opinion. I feel that I became more open-minded and patient
when discussing problems. Overall, this lesson helped me understand that innovation does not
always have to be something big. Sometimes it can start from changing the way we think and
observe everyday situations.
