The purpose of the certificate is to train students to become wicked scientists – researchers with the skills and attitudes to tackle wicked problems. This entails that students use a systems-thinking approach that seriously considers the roles, interests, and perspectives of stakeholders, learn to collaborate effectively with stakeholders and team members from diverse backgrounds and experiences, be able to communicate scientific research and ideas to diverse audiences and through different modalities, meet ethical, collegial, and professional expectations and standards in collaborative research and other professional endeavors, and articulate a sense of purpose and develop competencies, skills, and habits that prepare them for life-long learning about and engaging with wicked problems.
