In Multidisciplinary Design courses, teams of students with disparate academic backgrounds come together to tackle exciting design challenges. While practicing a user-centered design thinking process, teams will understand the essential need behind a problem, prototype solutions, test their prototypes, and present a final solution. Students also learn to collaborate among different working styles, and they introduce their peers to new skill sets from their engineering discipline.
