Tying it Together: Two Comprehensive Projects for Adult Development and Aging Courses

In this article, we outline 2 projects that highlight the multidimensionality of aging processes for adult development and aging courses. These projects tie together biological, psychological, and sociocultural aspects of aging by creatively integrating and applying course materials to real-world situations. In the first project, students design an age-appropriate retirement community using buildings on the local college campus. In the other, students present products they design to remedy specific age-related problems.
