Abstract

A team project course greatly depends on the collective and collaborative effort of everyone involved to ensure project success.

What is design? It's where you stand with a foot in two worlds - the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes - and you try to bring the two together.

—Mitchell Kapor

Design is an unknown.

—Geoffrey Beene
