STEC 200 Introduction to Applied Research3 credits
This course teaches undergraduate students across a broad range of academic disciplines to use critical-thinking skills to seek innovative solutions to real-world problems and integrates an industry experiential activity, which may include formal research, applied research, or work-based learning. Students devise a research project and learn components of the scientific method as well as engineering and design research principles. Topics include the research process, literature review and information literacy, hypothesis formation and testing, experimental design, data collection and analysis, communication of findings, and research ethics. Where appropriate, students will collaborate with industry, other departments, and the Innovation Lab at Lake Washington Institute of Technology to incorporate design principles and produce prototypes. Students are encouraged to present research findings in-house at Lake Washington Institute of Technology Research Symposium or at other regional conferences.
