As freshmen, for the most part they also bring limited technical knowledge and designexperience into the classroom.We thus face a challenge of trying to provide a clear, structured first design experience for students,but one that is also open-ended enough to allow for students to grapple with the challenge ofdesign, and to develop creative and critical thinking skills. Whether global healthcare developmentis too challenging a topic is a question we continue to debate. Simply learning about the resourcesand healthcare systems in other parts of the world has proven to be an eye-opening experience forseveral of our students, and one that leaves many of them inspired to consider a career

When I started my first week ofclasses, I felt intimidated by my peers; the classes were almost all males, and I didn’t have anyexperience.
