Fisher describes how MIT faculty communicated the practices and identity of the Institute as they developed and executed the vision for SUTD, and how local actors at the university reframed, modified, and adapted these practices to fit the local political, cultural, and economic context in Singapore. Fisher focuses on the early years of SUTD's development. She looks at the Singaporean government's intentions in founding a fourth university, and how prior research partnerships with MIT provided the confidence on both sides required to design an innovative curricular structure for SUTD. Using the techniques of ethnography, Fisher investigates the personal and professional incentives for MIT professors to invest their time and expertise in the project, how the early SUTD administration managed to market the fledgling institution to Singaporean students while dealing with temporary campus facilities, and how the first cohorts of students negotiated the unfamiliar pedagogy and curricular structures designed by MIT"--$$cProvided by publisher.
