Course Description
In this course, students will work on real, national security-related problems facing the U.S. Department of Defense. Students will study the structures and processes of the various national security agencies and how those agencies approach the problem of innovation, which for defense institutions is a combined problem of technology, policy, and law. Multifunctional student teams made up of students from each of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Batten School, and the School of Law will work together through the semester on an actual problem submitted by the Department of Defense to the class. As part of the course, student teams will prepare a series of project presentations and reports, including a final project presentation and a final report.
