process is as follows: • Early-stage discussion between faculty and university/school leaders with the objective of encouraging the free-flow of ideas at this early stage. • Decision process communicated by leaders to faculty with clarity around expected processes of decision making. For example, which groups are active participants in the decision-making process? Which groups will be consulted and will serve in an advisory capacity? What will the feedback loop look like after the decision is made? • Follow-up report after decision making provided by leaders to faculty to explain the rationale for the decision(s) made.Further, the idea of Town Hall is grounded in the principles

multidisciplinary teams that were used in this course reflected a bimodal academicdemographic since the course contained students from engineering and sciences. In futurecourse offerings, a wider range of academic backgrounds will be sought, including students fromthe arts and business-related studies. It is expected that this increased diversity will have apositive effect on the learning process since it will enable teaming that is more reflective of thegroups addressing health issues around the world today.References[1] National Academy of Engineering, Grand challenges for engineering, Available online: http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/?ID=11574, Accessed January 11, 2012.[2] S.
