Kean University Research Days
Kean University Research Days is a two-day annual event sponsored by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) to expand the level and engagement of student-faculty research. Below are social design research projects I guided students to develop and those chosen by ORSP to exhibit at the event. They demonstrate the design thinking methodology of using research, critical and creative thinking, prototyping, empathy, and a tolerance for failure to identify problems and efficacious solutions.
