Two comments you made which I have noticed in my current position, teaching at Hong Kong Polytechnic University:
-
The ability to work in groups is oustanding. They divide up the labor and develop an amazing amount of work. Quality work.
-
There are a lot of female students in Industrial Design here. I am teaching nine students in one class - 6 are female and 3 are male. Another class of sixteen students is definately 50/50.
