Methods of Problem Solving for Integrated Professional Studies
COT 405 - Class Number: 14620

Description:
Practice in applying creative problem solving methods to a selection of problems solicited from multiple disciplines. Analysis of student solutions will examine similarities and difference between disciplines with regard to strategic exploration, identifying and validating constraints, testing assumptions, defending choices and approaches, and making decisions. Cases are deliberately chosen such that conventional solutions are not immediately apparent, where procedural algorithms and instructional troubleshooting scripts are inadequate or unavailable, and for which exact solutions might not actually exist.
