SCI 4710 - Innovative Solutions - Research and Design

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Science

Description:

This is the first course in the Innovative Solutions Course Series focusing on research and design. The goal of this course series is to prepare students to solve interdisciplinary problems by engaging them in research setting that come directly from real world scenarios. As part of this course, interdisciplinary groups of 3-5 will be created, with each member of the group from a different STEM discipline. Student teams will select a project from a number of available real-world problems. This course will engage students in the following research experiences: evaluation of research literature; collaboration across multiple disciplines; application of knowledge toward novel solution; reflection; and participation in the design process. By the end of the course series, each group will produce a solution to their problem and complete a written, oral, and poster summary of their work. ** COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOS) 1. Experience how interdisciplinary problems are solved in the real world. 2. Assess and revise their own results in order to arrive at a solution that meets the practical constraints of the real-world scenario. 4. Collaborate in small teams working toward a common goal. 5. Improve their communication skills by presenting and clarifying technical results. 6. Prepare for a potential career in STEM and increase awareness about the growing pool of non-academic careers. FA
