Overview
The UNSW Level 1 Capstone (SCIF1000) course allows students to explore how scientific inquiry and interdisciplinary collaboration can address pressing global challenges, generate new knowledge and develop solutions. In this course, students will learn to think like a scientist and tackle real world problems by working in interdisciplinary teams on projects spanning climate change, public health, to life on other planets. Projects will unite students with shared motivations for pursuing Science and allow students to contribute their disciplinary and personal perspective toward developing a solution. Workshops are designed to provide an opportunity for peer learning and feedback in a collaborative environment.
This course also guides students to reflect on their personal and academic learnings in the first year of their program. Workshops will help students choose their major, explore their professional identity, and consider professional development activities for second and third year. Students will also network with peers and share perspectives and experiences on their study and career goals.
