Very well written.

I think there should actually be more interdisciplinary programs with IAT and business, since IAT requires so many presentations, reputation as u write, etc.

It’s still a developing program, but I enjoy my electives in IAT, and hope it can recruit more smart ppl into their program (in my courses, there’s only like 5-6 other ppl in tutorial who are always really good, then like a bunch of ppl that just kinda…)

Just wanted to add that it’s completely true that the student will have to develop executional tools and skills on their own (and I encourage you do so) but the strong understanding of process is what will allow you to flourish and differentiate in the market. New tools and applications are popularized and fade over time but process is enduring. It also allows you to envision new ways of applying your process tools to business organization, supply chain, wicked problems, etc… So it might seem all muddy now but be glad you got the design thinking basis and make sure you’re diligent and specialize in a technical skill on the side.
