In this capstone course, students will integrate their prior learning in a substantive applied project. They will reflect on their learning, identifying gaps with respect to personal and degree learning objectives, in preparation to transition beyond their undergraduate degree. Projects will be done in interdisciplinary teams. Students are expected to demonstrate a developed understanding of the interdisciplinary intersections realized in their project. Social engagement in the course is vital to the learning experience. While this is primarily a project-based course with instructors facilitating students' self-directed learning experience, there will be some specific content delivery, such as design thinking, teamwork charter, environmental scan, etc.
