9. For example, EDC was featured in the New York Times education supplement on November 7, 1999, and in the "On Campus" column in Prism, November 2000. When the McCormick School went through its ABET review in 1999-2000, EDC was commended for its approach to freshman engineering.
10. In addition to reviews of EDC by faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Toronto, EDC faculty have been invited to talk about the course at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte (1998) and the Fisher School of Business at Ohio State University (1999). Moreover, EDC was highlighted in the proposal to the National Science Foundation that resulted in the Vanderbilt-Northwestern-Texas-Harvard/MIT (VaNTH) Engineering Research Center for Bioengineering Educational Technologies.
11. We are especially grateful to Clive Dym of Harvey Mudd College for his contributions to EDC and for joining the EDC core faculty in 1997-1998.
