titleProject Work
  • GEN2002 is a project-based course with focus on dealing with existential/security threats (eg, disruption to our food supply) through community engagement. This is not a course to research, analyze and propose new theoretical initiatives at the policy level, nor would we be dealing with overarching issues like climate change.  . Successfully executing a trial/protoype of your project idea is strongly recommended.

  • The course is spread out across two semesters. There will be 9 10 classes in the first semester (5 6 lectures + 4 tutorials), and students will work on completing their project proposal in the second semester

  • If the proposal is developed early and deemed feasible, students may choose to implement it before the course ends
