What's it all about?
At this event, you’ll learn more about opportunities to develop multidisciplinary team-taught courses and meet potential collaborators.
This event intersects with the call for expressions of interest in multidisciplinary project-based courses issued through SHIFT.
Faculty who already responded to the SHIFT call are encouraged to participate in this initiative. In addition, faculty who have been part of recent discussions around STEAM — STEM plus arts and design — are encouraged to attend this event with other STEAM colleagues also interested in a potential wicked problem course offering.
What’s next? Following this kick-off event, we will issue a call for proposals and organize a workshop series focused on designing effective wicked problem courses.
Short-term funding for wicked problem courses is being provided through the Strategic Directions fund, the SHIFT social innovation initiative, and potentially through a private gift.
Our intent is to find ways to make these courses financially sustainable in order to be offered regularly to our students.
