In the two consecutive case study sessions on Friday, the experience of faculty and administrators from colleges and universities from across the country, as well as a select group of design professionals, will be presented. The aim of these case studies, individually and collectively, is to explore some of the major achievements of the past decade of reform from the perspective of the institution, the department, and the individual agent of change. Each session is designed to provide take home ideas about the process of developing, implementing, and evaluating new approaches in classroom and lab, and in transforming institutional policies and practices to accommodate those new approaches.
Abstracts are available from the links below.
