The purpose of this book is to encourage teachers and
administrators to move beyond traditional course structures and to
ask them to consider designing experiential curriculum that is
interdisciplinary and focused on solving real world problems. Why
do this? Both authors believe that the current model of education
falls short in preparing students to think creatively, to work
collaboratively and to engage actively as problem solvers. An
educational sea?change is needed more than ever given the problems
that face our world now and that threaten to worsen in the next few
decades. This book is divided into sections devoted to courses
that, despite their interdisciplinary nature, we categorized into
the following fields: Social Science, Literature and Composition,
ComputerScience, Mathematics, Art, Environment and Ecology,
Engineering, Public Health, and Administration.
