Misconceptions about career development
The department is called the Department of Education and Future Design, and may be compared to the Department of Industrial Design, Sculpture, and Art and Design. However, the Department emphasizes the development of design skills, not primarily in the design of objects, but in the design of innovative human-centered organizations, the design of teaching programs, and the design of community and social transformation.
Misconceptions about learning methods
