At the tertiary level today, courses on design thinking can be found in diverse programs in and beyond the realm of traditional design disciplines. Across Canada, design thinking courses feature in communication, culture and information technology, and business and engineering. This paper reports findings from a study that investigated the following question: What is design thinking and how is it being taught? The study surveyed different approaches adopted in five post-secondary programs. Specifically, it examined course emphases, class structures, assignments and other components, in the hope of drawing a matrix from which to analyze their strengths and weaknesses and to examine what they have in common.
