Deliver Results: On Time, Under Budget, Past Failures, Without Excuses
These are the same traits that top organizations are looking for, and our graduates should be able to consistently demonstrate them. By the time a student graduates, they should already be adept at performing at a high-level under real-world demands and expectations. We should not be shielding or protecting our students from them, but instead simulating them, integrating them into our day-to-day pedagogy, and supporting students as they fail to meet them until they finally succeed. Upon graduation, a student should be able to demonstrate the successful completion of multiple meaningful projects that were on time, under budget, overcame failures, without any exceptions, assistance, or intervention from parents, teachers, or others.
