Today's university students are facing a new challenge. When they
graduate they are expected to have the ability to:
- work effectively in interdisciplinary teams
- create innovative solutions to society's complex problems
- excel at written, oral, and electronic communications
- be self-paced, self-managed, and independent learners
- provide leadership not only at work but in the community
- communicate with colleagues and clients that may work in the office
next door or half way around the world
- understand how to navigate a path through the array of new
information age technologies
TeamWorks, a new student organization at CSUS, is working to prepare
students to meet that challenge. TeamWorks will link students from
throughout the University with interdisciplinary project teams from
industry and the community, to solve "real world" problems and work on
actual projects that will benefit not only the student, but the community
as well. Projects will focus on integrating traditional educational
methods -- apprenticeship, learn by doing, hands-on application of
class-room theory -- with the best of today's "knowledge age" approaches
-- computer-aided learning, self-paced instruction, and the teacher
as guide and facilitator, not lecturer.
