This course is an outgrowth of our developing relationship with Northwestern University through the Farley Center. Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. Through the use of Project Based Learning (PBL), students will embrace the Design Thinking concept in a semester-long class, team-taught in conjunction with Northwestern University EPIC Program personnel. Ultimately, students will create a feasible solution to address their identified problems. Students may enter a competition, work on their capstone project, or complete an independent study project during this course. The course will be offered in semester one. Opportunities for the Design Thinking workshops may occur outside of regularly scheduled class times. The Design Thinking course is recommended for honors students completing a capstone project and seeking an honors diploma, but open to all students.
