create an individual focus, whereas in the latter, they have to evolve a focus witha team and a client.To some extent, these conflicts can be interpreted as manifestations of differences between what C.P. Snow called the “two cultures,” the humanistic on the one hand and the technical on the other.1(It is worth noting that Snow himself used “literary intellectuals” and “scientists” as labels forthese two cultures.) Although our experience has convinced us that there are significant differencesin professional cultures involved, one of our primary aims is to avoid easy kinds ofcompartmentalization, 2 especially those that highlight differences without resolving them. Theapparent conflicts also accentuate the distinction between an approach that

engineering schools have realized the need for a new model of design education whichstresses not only technical competence, but also provides training in communication, managementand the complete product design cycle, as well as a number of practical, creative designexperiences. Many schools have implemented new courses and programs which include theseexperiences. Large state universities, however, have specific characteristics which require specialattention. These include: (1) large numbers of students, (2) students entering with a wide diversityof backgrounds, abilities, ages and learning styles, and (3) large numbers of transfer studentscoming from public two-year community colleges and four-year non-specialty colleges.

For this courseit required transferring cost responsibility from the university to students, changes made to thecourse offering, and technical alterations to the class. Unexpected issues arose such as lowerthan desired enrollment in the first semester and higher than expected student costs. The longterm efficacy of the course is explored through examining how students who took the courseduring its pilot phase fared in later courses that build upon its learning
