Degree description
In the Bachelor of Science degree program in technological leadership, students learn complex problem-solving, critical thinking and leadership through an interdisciplinary blend of classroom learning and hands-on projects. Coursework focuses on individual and team-based inquiry and design, intensive summer internships and fundamental skills in writing, math and coding.
The heart of this major consists of classes in inquiry and making, taken each semester. In inquiry classes, students use an innovative inquiry process to solve big questions both independently and in teams. Examples of these questions include “What will the moon look like after human settlement?” and “What is the future of cars?” In making classes, students use similar processes with software and lab tools to create physical products that fill urgent material gaps in the world of science and technology.
