Application

Because student interest in this class greatly exceeds our capacity, enrollment in the class is by application only. All graduate students from any discipline are invited to apply. Our goal is to assemble multidisciplinary teams that will consider all elements of a design (technology, business, and human values). Prior experience in developing countries is not a pre-requisite; we expect to have diverse mix on this and other dimensions.

The application for the 2010 course is available for downloaded here, and is due by Wednesday November 18 at 11:59PM.
