Description

Strengthen your research, design and leadership skills to be equipped for collaboration across disciplines. You'll be prepared to help solve complex problems and ready to lead in your chosen field of study.

A concentration in technological leadership equips students with the skills needed to solve tomorrow's most pressing problems.

Through a series of engaging and hands-on courses, students learn how to recognize and describe unsolved problems in the fields of science and technology and practice implementing creative problem-solving techniques in order to design potential solutions to those problems.

This concentration complements and enhances a student's skills with key skills in collaborative research, technology design and interdisciplinary leadership.
