NPHS 1540 - CAPSTONE COURSE IN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Along the lines of workshops conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the capstone course is dedicated to exploring a variety of solutions to a single, complex, interdisciplinary problem - a "wicked" problem - in emergency management. "Wicked" problems are complex problems for which there is an unlimited number of potential solutions, but choosing among them is difficult because they have huge impacts and there are no immediate or ultimate tests of their worth - they are neither true nor false but good or bad. The "wicked" problem considered in NPHS 1540 may change from term to term to meet emerging demands or class composition.
