This course will be offered Spring 2017, with a trip to Detroit the 3rd week of the term. The cost is penciled in at $700. If the budget runs favorably I pick up more meals “on the road” so as to diminish your out-of-pocket costs.
As in the past, the course is built around on-campus speakers and the Detroit trip. During that week we meet with industry executives and journalists, tour factories and R&D facilities, and otherwise immerse ourselves in the Detroit experience. We used readings tied to both; from your end you will blog and keep a journal. I will update this page as I work out details.
