The curriculum portion is still a work in progress. Our continuing problem for this project is the process lack of getting into manpower to reach out to the first year NDSU students in their University 189 courses. However, there have been several lectures given in the course work 2016 spring semester and doing design thinking activities the 2017 fall semester, with even more planned for the students, thus giving them spring of 2017. The faculty is on board and most of the ability to think creativelyfeedback received has been quite positive. With this program, introducing them we hope to the opportunities on campus that they would either enjoy working eventually help students in or use as a resource when need be. First hand all years and disciplines understand design thinking activities allow them to see that Design thinking is a tactic they can apply in any field or in anyway.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span>
