NCIIA initiated the Sustainable Vision Teaching Lab (SVTL) in June 2011, with one of the key sessions led by James Barlow on course strategy mapping. The workshop goal: help faculty revise engineering design curriculum to show students how to design for people living on less than $4 per day (termed "the other 90%"). SVTL strategy mapping helps faculty lay out learning objectives for a new course, or refresh an existing course, with a focus on some aspect of design for the poor, especially in the developing world. This workshop covers SVTL strategy mapping in three sequential steps:
In this workshop, faculty will learn how to fully align learning objectives, activities, materials, and readings.
