ENGR 49001 - Breakthrough Thinking For Complex Challenges
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course helps students learn and effectively employ high-impact design principles and structured problem solving methods to address complex multi-stakeholder socio-technical challenges. Case discussions of historical and contemporary high impact solutions to complex challenges are used to introduce techniques to frame problems, structure ambiguity, intentionally design non-incremental solutions, and communicate, trial, and iterate solutions to drive adoption and multifaceted sustainability. Techniques are drawn from multiple schools of thought such as business, design, engineering, and the social sciences. Over the course of the term, multi-disciplinary student teams directly apply cumulative learning to address selected parts of a real-world complex societal challenge in close collaboration with a partner organization, in an experiential learning format. This course can be counted toward the College of Engineering Minor in Innovation and Transformational Change and the Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship (BDMCE) Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Permission of instructor required. Typically offered Fall Spring.Credits: 3.00
