Position KSU due to its location in the State Capital to work with State Government to transform its Public Administration programs into programs of distinction.

Develop a freshman-level course around Design Thinking, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship in which students learn about the creative process and how to apply it to design and create a product prototype. Students will work in cross-disciplinary teams on all aspects, including but not limited to marketing, budgeting, artistic and engineering design, and environmental and societal impact.

Form a group of faculty and research supervisors in charge of capstone courses to develop multidisciplinary, cross functional projects. Teams of seniors from across disciplines will form the Capstone Project teams. Team members with different interests and skills will contribute to various aspects of the project such as business aspects, environmental impact, community impact, aesthetic aspects, technical requirements, and the like.

Allow cross-disciplinary capstone projects to solve real world problems sourced from and worked on in collaboration with surrounding business, research, or governmental entities. As such, KSU will build and sustain relationships with these stakeholders to provide projects for our students and value to our community.
