This paper will report on collaborations between the OWOW (One World One Water) Center and the Industrial Design Department at Metro State College of Denver. OWOW helps students become urban water stewards through coursework, co-curricular events, and applied learning activities. As industrial design students attend learning sessions with Denver Water, Hach Industries, and OWOW director Tom Cech, they are uniquely equipped to invent concepts that conserve, or bring awareness to water conservation. The principles are internalized as students devise innovative, informed design solutions. Further collaborations occur with campus Center for Innovation (marketing) and the Communication Design Department (branding). The paper will advance design education by serving as an example of how water conservation may be taught and integrated into a curriculum and by providing case studies of completed student design projects.
