AppLab is a multi-disciplinary design thinking course focused on developing sustainable solutions to complex, real-world problems. The class is led by multiple faculty and enrolls students from across campus. Projects are defined by outside companies and non-profit entities, and students work directly with those professional partners to help solve issues they have identified. Working with teams on an in-depth, semester long project, students engage across disciplines to creatively contribute to the larger community.
