Project Examples

Requirements

This course places students into interdisciplinary teams to collaborate with faculty on real-world client projects serviced through the Industry Student Fellows Program. Students will conduct and provide research, build a product prototype, engage in early-stage development, be responsive in communication, and ultimately present the project to the client.

Most importantly, the course hopes to inspire and empower every student to strengthen their creative abilities regardless of their future goals. For those students who find this brave new world exciting, this course encourages students to apply for UGA’s Entrepreneurship Certificate Program.
