This course provides a platform for multiple disciplines to learn about and collaborate on projects that address our societal challenges using the established framework of Design Thinking. These challenges may include climate change, food security, migration, and conflict. Design thinking has its roots in industrial design and engineering but borrows from a variety of disciplines, including ethnography, computer science, psychology, organizational learning, and business. Students who participate in this course look at problems from these alternative perspectives, how they might impact their own discipline, and how their discipline might inform the solution. To achieve this, students work within multidisciplinary teams on projects that are not necessarily aligned to their area of expertise. Students are encouraged to reflect on this experience to better understand their own preferred learning environment and behaviors.
