SUS 7501C Capstone Interdisciplinary Team Project - I
This course is designed to teach skills that are required in addressing interdisciplinary problems in sustainability. Students learn to work in teams on projects in disciplines unfamiliar to them. They develop confidence in tackling and solving problems where technology, economics and environmental issues intersect. Teams are assembled from more than one concentration. Lectures on project management and team work are given early in the semester. Project topics are either selected from a list or proposed by students. Seminars by invited speakers on topics of interest to team assignments are given during class hours. Depending on the nature of a project, outside experts may be engaged as mentors. A formal report is prepared and submitted by the team at the end of the term.
