Learner goals and capabilities

This course provides students with the opportunity to work with a hands-on project on a relevant topic area. This is an experiential course and it is designed to foster critical thinking and real-time decision-making, with students applying their knowledge and skills to the challenge at hand. We are beginning the Fall semester, completion will be by mid-December 2022.

We have a confidentiality agreement with all “clients”. In addition, the work becomes the intellectual property of the “client” so we don’t share it with others- it is theirs.
