=== Description: ===
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Currently there is only an I&E Certificate offered to students in the business school or engineering school. This limited offering excludes a huge population of students at Pitt that have potential interest in the I&E career.</span>
=== Project: ===
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">To create a university-wide interdisciplinary certificate program where all students from all schools and majors have the ability to take courses towards completing an I&E certificate</span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic A: Developing a fully complete I&E certificate with administration to be offered to all undergraduate students</span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-fcfce87a-fb33-4db4-17fa-09d5afd45def"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestone 1: Surveying a wide range of students</span></span>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Use the Idea Blitz Booth ideas to gather data from a wide variety of students on how they would react to this opportunity presented to them by their school.</span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">From our Landscape Canvas, we can easily see which courses are already being offered that can allow a variety of majors to participate in this certificate program while still taking I&E classes that relate to their major. Create a final list of these course offerings (especially for students that are in the Arts and Sciences School).</span>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bringing in Dean's of different departments (such as Biology, Philosphy, etc.) from these schools would be valuable as well.</span>
