Limited recruitment opportunities for our pilot group, attracted a number of students whowere particularly interested in our program’s promise of hands-on and project-based experiences,and failed to attract or retain students who identified themselves as being more interested inhumanities than technology. As a result, students’ individual expectations may have clashed withthe transdisciplinary ideals of the program.In addition, students seemed to perceive each faculty member as merely representative of asingle discipline, although all faculty members in the program had unique cross-disciplinarybackgrounds

The project ran parallel to theclass discussion and weekly progress revolved around identification of the problem, ideation for apossible solution, design, and execution. The problems were chosen from the discussion of pain pointsby students during the first week of the class.
