Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the Senior Design Challenge experience, students will be better equipped to:
- Conduct ethnographic research (through techniques like observation and interviewing);
- Analyze primary and secondary research data to frame and articulate specific problems and opportunities;
- Generate a large and diverse set of solution ideas;
- Create physical and digital prototypes to test ideas with users;
- Communicate ideas through written, verbal, and multimedia presentations;
- Manage a complex project, including setting timelines and milestones;
- Recover from setbacks and reframe them as learning opportunities;
- Effectively collaborate with teammates from different disciplinary backgrounds.
We are pleased to report that written student reflections are already showing evidence of students’ attainment of these outcomes.
