Computer Science, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship
Our human-centered approach to design work: gather, generate, build, and share.
Through a range of course offerings, the Computer Science, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship Department provides students with opportunities to engage in hands-on, real-world, creative problem-solving in a number of disciplines (engineering, manufacturing, robotics, computer science, and entrepreneurship). These courses prioritize work that partners with authentic audiences, both here on campus and in the Greater Hartford area.
Key Highlights
- Courses focus on giving students the essential skills they need to communicate their ideas effectively to others.
- Significant time in most of the courses will be spent in the Pearse Hub for Innovation (PHI), where students will engage in our human-centered approach to design work: gather, generate, build, and share.
