Curriculum Integration Through a 4-year Design Project and Cross-course Educational Tools

Cohort: 2017
Fellow: Matthew Balhoff

In many curricula students find it difficult to understand the common thread and themes between their courses until near graduation (or ever). Thus, students are unable to benefit from the synergistic nature of a fully integrated program. Courses are taught by different instructors with different teaching styles and nomenclature (a potentially good thing), but all too often even the instructors are unaware of the material or educational objectives taught in complementary courses.
