Teaching

Presenting a fundamental shift in the way science is taught, the integrated quantitative science course will challenge both students and faculty to move beyond the traditional methods of teaching and learning science. Each semester of the course will be organized around a guiding principle that integrates several concepts.

Instruction will be wholly integrated. An instructor from each of the five disciplines will be present for each lecture and presentation of the material will flow between disciplines. Topics for the course will be organized around broad conceptual areas (such as "State, Structure and Storage"), allowing each of the disciplines to be integrated into the discussion. Lab work will require skills from each of the disciplines and will take place in collaborative teams.
