ENIN 250 Makerspaces and the Creative and Innovative Process Units: 3.00
Development of the student innovator's mindset and skillset in design thinking. Through real-world problems, students will learn how to use makerspace equipment competently and safely, and to design, prototype, and test objects. They will be encouraged to think critically about the potential of the maker movement to create social impacts.
