The faculty are first characterized in multiple ways: university, academic rank, years ofexperience, registration status and discipline. The results of their open-ended definition of AEDare examined using eight categories derived from the responses rated on 1-5 Likert scales, withthe analysis broken down using the same faculty characterization. Faculty opinions about thedisciplines necessary to include in AED are also analyzed. Overall there is general agreementthat disciplinary “skills” are an important part of AED as are, to a lesser extent, the “products”produced. There is some agreement about the idea of “integration

A new variety of Team Based Learning (TBL) has been developed by Michaelsen and Finkthat specifically address the common concerns of students as well as instructors12-13. Theobjective of this new pedagogy is to construct a team environment that fosters trust andcooperation by removing many of the organizational obstructions that typically precludemeaningful student interaction. This approach works to abolish the inertial tendencies ofstudents and teachers to “go it alone”. The following points illustrate specific techniques used toremove organizational
