The Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management (formerly the J.D. Edwards Honors Program in Computer Science and Management) is a specialized honors program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln that focuses on computer science and management. It was founded in May 1998 by Ed McVaney, co-founder of the JD Edwards company. With his gift of $32 million to the university, McVaney charged the school with setting up a program to train the next generation of business leaders.〔(The Scarlet: Building for Tomorrow ) 2001-04-19.〕 In June 2008, the program was renamed after Jeff Raikes in recognition for his lead gift in a $20 million fundraising campaign. The program accepts roughly 32 high-ability students every year. The Raikes School's curriculum focuses on integrating a computer science and business education. It aims to instruct students on innovation, entrepreneurship, and working in a team. Students are led by a faculty with diverse backgrounds, such as business owners and research experts. ==Curriculum== The Raikes School incorporates computer science and business management into one integrated curriculum.〔 It prides itself with providing an education balanced in technology and management with focus on leadership, communications, and collaboration. This program offers an undergraduate program that complements business, computer science, and computer engineering majors. Design Thinking has become a focus for students and faculty as the Raikes School shifts its focus to innovation. Silicon Prairie News quotes previous director, David Keck, describes Design Thinking as "teaching them decision-making and problem-solving in a scenario of relatively incomplete information." Third- and fourth-year students work on real-world projects for companies in Design Studio, a year-long class in which students divide into teams, meet with clients, agree on specifications, develop the product, and in many cases perform quality assurance after delivery. Design Studio gives members of the program real-world experience designing and writing software, working in teams, meeting deadlines, and communicating with clients. The project comes together at the Design Studio showcase, where Raikes students present their final projects publicly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeffrey S.
