AEM 1101 - Design Your Dyson Fall. 3 credits. S/U grades only (no audit).
Enrollment limited to: Dyson first-year and new transfer students.
Staff.
This course helps first-year students develop a deeper comprehension of the undergraduate experience within the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. The Design Your Dyson course fosters a sense of community around shared interests, enhances problem-solving skills through design thinking, and helps students create collaborative and lasting connections to peers, faculty, staff, alumni and the Dyson School. As they formulate a plan to get the most out of their four-year program, students will learn about the resources and opportunities available at Dyson; the course also surveys selected resources at the SC Johnson College of Business and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, as well as Cornell generally. The course introduces our signature Grand Challenges program, and helps students envision Dyson’s motto of “our business is a better world” as both a relevant personal philosophy and a practical toolkit – a way of thinking and acting that will enhance their learning in the program and their impact after graduation.
