'''''How might we build upon the interdisciplinary curriculum program to allow more students to create their own course of study that ends in a senior capstone experience that integrates creative problem solving, entrepreneurship, innovation or research that leads to / supports technological innovation?'''''
Beginning sophomore year, students begin to explore their interests and craft their disciplinary pursuits into a ICP proposal. As a component of this proposal, students will choose an area of focus where they will identify a problem or opportunity and design a meaningful solution. <br/><br/>Junior and senior years, students will be equipped with tools and skillsets to create their solution through courses that explore opportunity assessment and project management, foundations of entrepreneurship, start-up finance, business model canvasing, product development, management and investment strategies. <br/><br/>At the end of the senior year, students will test and refine their solution, ending the year with a pitch to fellow ICP participants, community members, entrepreneurs from the community and potential investors.
