Faculty

The faculty or fellows are the instructors who act as facilitators for design thinking, some of their duties include:

·         Teaching the students what design thinking is

·         Guiding the students through their designs

·         Mentoring students throughout their projects

·         Inspiring students imagination and creativity


Students

Students who do well in the course could potentially be trained to teach the following year; however, as of now only University Innovation Fellows have been trained to facilitate the course. Georgia Tech Innovation Fellows like Jason Weis are teaching the first iteration of the course specifically for first year Biomedical Engineering students. Students are inspired by the UIF team and their creative lens. Through this design thinking class they are able to show amazing results in the form of prototypes, presentations, and many more.
