About the Program
The Design & Innovation Minor provides all students, regardless of their major, a flexible pathway to: - Explore the practices of design and innovation through their own passion projects,
- Work with peers from different majors and backgrounds,
- Create solutions to real problems with continued access to Innovation Labs (including 3D Printing, prototyping tools, microcontrollers, etc.),
- Participate in coursework taught by instructors across the Purdue Polytechnic, College of Liberal Arts, and Daniels School of Business,
- Compete in Design & Innovation Challenges each semester, and
- Ultimately develop innovative solutions - going from idea formation to functional prototype - that are designed for people and ready for launching into the world to make an impact.
