As citizens of the 21st century we face problems of global proportions but with problems come solutions, often in the form of innovative technology or policy. In this course, students will draw on their previous studies to address a specific problem related to their majors. Students will review and internalize a general research process (with emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving skills) in order to produce and effectively communicate a product in the form of a presentation with supporting documentation. This course will explore topics with a broad focus on corporations, communities, government or society. Students will also explore their personal values and beliefs on these global issues, with the goal of applying them to their work environments. (Students must be within two quarters of graduation with the AOS or AAS degree.) Class 3, Credit 3 (F, W, S)
