This program is part of a largerinitiative supported by the university to experiment with new educational approaches. The visionfor this initiative was to prepare students to succeed across their future career—which mayinclude jobs that do not exist today. A group of interested faculty fellows were charged withinvestigating new educational approaches that met the values of: (a) viewing the student as awhole person; (b) welcoming diversity and access for all; (c) student autonomy; (d) risk-takingas an important component to learning; and (e) openness fostered through sharing

First, today’s graduate students are tomorrow’s experts working to lead global andinterdisciplinary teams in industry and in academia. By illuminating mechanisms by whichcollaborative competencies such as trust are developed and the impact they have on collaborationsuccess over time, there is a potential for graduate students to be able to be more immediatelyproductive in their future careers.

While both project-styles potentially result in good projects, equitably assessing both within the same course canprove quite challenging.While most students tend to respond favorably to their design experiences, it should berecognized that this major design experience does, in fact, introduce a certain level of stressbeyond that typically associated with other courses. The size and complexity of projects pursuedin most senior design programs are often the most complex project students have experienced atthis point in their academic careers. Additionally, many students are stressed when required toformally communicate [5], yet such communication is a common component to

Parallel to the public education enterprise, the inequality of the system waspropagated by racist and intransigent stakeholders and justified through various legal loopholesand racist cultural assumptions.One particular aspect of inequality between the two systems was access to professional trainingin specific career paths. In the 1930s, this was brought to the fore by a legal challenge to theUMD law school in Baltimore. The result of this legal challenge was a new separate-but-(more)-equal law school at
