PRACTICE DESIGN. ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS. CREATE SOLUTIONS WITH IMPACT.
Our team is excited to announce the new Socially Engaged Engineering & Design (SEED) Capstone course for the 2024 Winter semester. This 3-credit, elective course will provide students the opportunity to explore complex challenges, engage with real stakeholders, and design people-first solutions.
Skills of Socially Engaged Engineering and Design (SEED):
- Engage with stakeholders to explore and understand a given challenge
- Perform primary and secondary research on contextual factors related to your challenge
- Learn and practice interviewing skills, defining key takeaways, ideating and prototyping
- Present a solution idea and summary of your process at the end of the winter semester in a design expo event.
- There may be an opportunity to continue your work in a funded Summer Fellowship program!
How does it work?
The SEED class will be hosted in a hybrid format, is group project based and requires significant independent teamwork outside of course hours. You will work on a team in this course. Project topics will be provided; there will also be an opportunity to propose your own team-based project as part of this course.
Instructors
This course will be led by Charlie Michaels and Erin Moore from the Center for Socially Engaged Design.
