Collaboration Seeks to Create Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Curriculum
Four Universities Will Design Materials Based on What Science Students Should Learn
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has launched a new science education experiment that will bring together four universities with an ambitious goal: to create and share effective models for teaching interdisciplinary science, including new courses and ways of assessing how well they work.
The four-year, $1.8 million National Experiment in Undergraduate Science Education, or NEXUS, will bring together Purdue University; the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC); the University of Maryland, College Park, and the University of Miami. Each institution will work on creating a different aspect of the curriculum that connects biology with physics, math, and chemistry.
