This book focuses on the interdisciplinary incorporation of
place-based learning in faculty teaching strategies at the New York
City College of Technology. Contributing authors highlight their
creative use of the unique urban environment of Brooklyn,
illustrating the integration of urban resources into student
research projects and activities in the context of an
interdisciplinary course. Beginning with a reflection on the
interrelationship between learners and nature, built and virtual
environments, contributors then examine the experience of students
and faculty in interdisciplinary projects in architecture, the
geosciences, economics, computer science, the humanities and
medicine. The volume concludes with a synthesis of best practices
from these projects, focused on virtual place-based learning. This
scholarly book makes a valuable contribution to the literature,
offering a model of creative employment of urban spaces to enhance
experiential interdisciplinary learning and demonstrating the
potential educator application in diverse urban institutions
elsewhere.
