This 1-semester course will bring together students from multiple engineering disciplines to address real world challenges. The class of 15-20 students will be placed on 4 or 5 teams, and each team will be matched with a project partner from industry, medicine, or the social sector. Students will learn to collaborate between their different work styles and cultures, understand the essential need behind the problem, prototype solutions, test, and present a final solution to their project partner. Each team will be matched with technical advisors relevant to their project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-37426\" src=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/chembe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Multidisciplinary-design-300x153.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/chembe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Multidisciplinary-design-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/chembe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Multidisciplinary-design-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/chembe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Multidisciplinary-design.jpg 786w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The course will meet from 1:30-2:45pm on Monday and Wednesday in Brody Learning Commons 5015\/5017.
