Please join us on Wednesday, February 1, at 1pm for "Interdisciplinary Collaboration Course Experiment" presented by James A. Bowey, Joan Francioni, and Chun Lok Mah.
During the 2011 Fall Semester, Professors Bowey, Fancioni, and Mah brought together students from three different disciplines to study and experience interdisciplinary collaboration. The students were used to working on group projects but they were not at all familiar or even comfortable with true collaboration. Using a combination of short projects, lectures, and outside speakers, we worked with them to understand the role of interdisciplinary work in creative production and how to leverage their individual strengths and knowledge in this kind of work. For the final project, they worked in small teams to create an impossible real-life scene that looks natural and reflects some aspect(s) of the social implications of computing. In this presentation, Bowey, Francioni, and Mah will discuss what they think worked best in this class and what they would change in the future. They will also showcase some of the final projects.
