ENTP 3390 - Design and Innovation

A project-based experientially-oriented course that involves the use of interdisciplinary strategies and methodologies associated with design thinking. Students are challenged to work in a team to identify a problem, carry out evidence-based research, and invent a functional, innovative solution to improve a process, e.g., improve the quality of life for a well-defined group. In addition, student teams will construct a prototype that demonstrates the effectiveness, safety, performance, and efficiency of the team's approach and its user group through evidenced-based user testing. 3 credits.
