Interdisciplinary work allows students the opportunity to gain new perspectives of how their majors interact with other majors in the business world. A design course that involved business and engineering majors and emphasized product lifecycle management would expose the students to different mindsets and a more holistic understanding of how an idea or solution is created out of an initial design and eventually marketed. This course could also facilitate community business partners that offer real world problems for the students to undertake as their design project.
*Find a faculty member interested in teaching the course (11-6-15)*Determine if this course could satisfy senior design requirements (12-4-15)*Identify community businesses interested in a partnership (12-4-15)*Create first revision of curriculum (1-15-16)*Begin offering the course (Fall 2016)
