The Design Sequence within the Woodruff School is run successfully thanks to a unique collaboration between faculty, staff, students, alumni, and sponsors. Faculty members teach and mentor student teams, staff provides administrative assistance, training and consulting, students run the Invention Studio facilities, alumni mentor and coach student teams, and Industry sponsors provide funding to support the program infrastructure. Our mission is to provide real-world learning opportunities through hands-on problem based collective learning. To learn more about the Design Sequence, please contact Amit Jariwala, Director of Design & Innovation.
