This course prepares students for applied, community-engaged capstone work by strengthening collaboration, disciplinary ways of thinking, and project design skills. Framed by the idea that regional challenges reflect global issues, the course helps students connect their academic expertise to real-world problems. Students work in broadly-designated disciplinary groups to refine their disciplinary lens. Under faculty mentorship and through guided inquiry, these groups identify root causes, analyze stakeholders, and build research. Disciplinary knowledge informs real-world action plans and prepares students for multidisciplinary collaboration in the capstone. Three semester hours.
