Deliverables

The course is offers two modes of experiential learning semester and has two optional implementations, one as an Applied Project and the other as a field Placement. In Applied Projects, the students continue their learning with a project, which will be supplied during the first week of class. This is a team-based project that they will execute full-time (no timetable) for an enterprise/community/ faculty sponsor. The goal is to gain experience working directly in the field and establishing the student's area of specialization.
