About Mission 2006

Solving Complex Problems is a 9-unit course offered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that provides students with the opportunity to work in teams to develop practical solutions to interdisciplinary problems. The problem posed to Mission 2006 students in the fall term is:

"Develop a way to characterize and monitor the well-being of one of the last true frontiers on Earth – the Amazon Basin rainforest – and devise a set of practical strategies to ensure its preservation."
