Subject: Re: A little tweak please
We have received many comments that the "integrated global programs” sub plan name initially proposed is too vague, begging the
question “integrated into what?”. After much discussion among stakeholders, we arrived at unanimous agreement on a revision to
Interdisciplinary Global Programs. All involved agree that this sub plan title highlights the more novel and innovative aspect of
these programs, namely how the two programs that utilize this sub plan (the Global Science and Engineering Program and the Global
Business Program) recast modern global engineering/science/business education as needing to focus not just on core disciplinary
skills, but on also weave in strong “global skills” (language, culture…the interdisciplinary part). Thus, Interdisciplinary Global
Programs much better reflects the intent and nature of the sub plan.
