Whilst these terms share in general an interest in computational technologies and design activity, there are important differences in the various approaches, theories, and applications. For example, while in some circles the term '''Computational Design''' refers in general to the creation of new computational tools and methods in the context of [[Computational Thinking]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ubiquity.acm.org/article.cfm?id=3132087|title=Ubiquity: Computational design|website=ubiquity.acm.org|access-date=2017-11-13}}</ref>, '''Design Computing''' is concerned with bridging these two fields in order to build an increased understanding of design<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319149554#aboutBook|title=Design Computing and Cognition '14 {{!}} John S.

The Bachelor of Design Computing (BDesComp)<ref>https://sydney.edu.au/courses/courses/uc/bachelor-of-design-computing.html</ref> was created in 2003 at the [[University of Sydney]] and continues to be a leading programme in interaction design and creative technologies, now hosted by the [http://sydney.edu.au/architecture/research/designlab/index.shtml Design Lab]. In that context, '''Designdesign Computing'''computing is defined to be ''the use and development of computational models of design processes and digital media to assist and/or automate various aspects of the design process with the goal of producing higher quality and new design forms''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ses.library.usyd.edu.au//bitstream/2123/1024/1/architecture_2004.pdf|title=Faculty of Architecture Handbook 2004|last=|first=|date=|website=University of Sydney Library|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=11 November 2017}}</ref>.
