Students are put in teams, assigned a specific company, and tasked to identify a sustainability issue within their assigned business. After defining the sustainability issue, students engage in a design sprint to develop an innovative solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams then present their findings in class and the winning team from each course goes on to present at the highly-competitive Top Dawg competition where they are judged by a team of business professionals. One team is crowned the overall winner and given the distinction of Top Dawg, while also receiving an automatic A+ on the course&#8217;s final exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the semester, students gain experience in ideation, diverging and converging ideas, creativity, innovation, and complex problem solving. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"callout-two-column-quote alignfull\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-quote__item callout-two-column-quote__pattern callout-two-column-quote__pattern--left\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-default callout-two-column-quote__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-quote__text callout-two-column-quote__text--left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"t-d3 callout-two-column-quote__kicker\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"color: var(--color-theme-blue)\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCurrent Student Story \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-quote__quote callout-two-column-quote__quote--left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"callout-two-column-quote__quote-text t-p1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;My favorite part about First-Year Business Experience was the collaboration with my group and the development of a new, theoretical business.
