Sustainable Design Synthesis Prep

Synthesis Prep is an intensive course designed to help students refine their research plan and prepare for their synthesis project. Over the course of the semester, students will develop a research plan, present their research goals and findings, and author a preliminary report. With a refined timeline and deliverables, students will evaluate the efficacy of their approach and update their plan as necessary.
The course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of their area of study, with critical excerpts organized and professionally cited. Through field work, simulation, and analysis, students will initiate new contributions to ensure that the Synthesis methods, timeline, and deliverables are feasible within the Spring semester.
