Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register to be considered for a DI course section?

To inquire about having your course become a DI section contact J.R. Campbell at jrcamp@kent.edu

What is required for my course to become a 鈥淒I Section?鈥

There are only two key requirements to have your course become a DI Section, ANY course from any discipline can apply:

  1. If your course or course section has at least one team-based project (ideally tackling a complex problem and/or working across disciplinary boundaries) AND

  2. You are willing to have your course section be scheduled to meet in the DI HUB. 

If you meet these criteria, then your course section is eligible!! 

Do I need to have design or making activities as part of my course section in the DI HUB?

No, but we encourage you to think about the possibilities for how 鈥榤aking鈥 can be a powerful way to help people see/communicate complex problems, as well as to visualize and test possible solutions!

What is the timeline for applying?

We will consider applications on a rolling basis and try to accommodate what we can.  We will operate on a 鈥榝irst come, first served鈥 basis, so start planning early!  Ideally, the application should be submitted prior to the academic term (semester or summer) BEFORE the term you would like to be scheduled in the DI HUB.

Do I need to do anything in my school/department?

Yes!  We STRONGLY recommend you consult with your appropriate academic unit head (department chair, school director, dean, etc.) to ensure that your goal for a 鈥淒I Section鈥 of your course is in line with the unit鈥檚 goals and values.  This will also help your academic unit head and schedulers better plan for scheduling your section.
