PRIDE: Photonics Research in Interdisciplinary Education

A new combined research-curriculum development (CRCD) program at Boston University titled Photonics Research in Interdisciplinary Education (PRIDE) is described. The PRIDE program is designed to demonstrate vertically integrated curriculum development by incorporating three levels of modules into a wide range of existing courses. Examples of photonics research and knowledge are molded into modu...

a deliberation on interdisciplinary research in higher education

different developments in recent years have provided protection for participative and interdisciplinary research from research and educational institutes and other organizations which invest in research. because of the need for having a comprehensive look in solving problems and understanding complexities and also multidimensionality of problems which societies encounter some special ideas have...

Interdisciplinary Knowledge for Education in Modeling and Simulation

1 What’s the Problem? Various attempts have been made by this Society to define the body of knowledge required to be a good simulationist. Indeed, only this conference uses the term simulationist, which was coined by ???? in ????. At one conference ?pos??? the attempt was made to formulate the body by referring to one (out of date) version of the philosophy of science. Unfortunately, this ends ...

Modeling human diseases: an education in interactions and interdisciplinary approaches

Traditionally, most investigators in the biomedical arena exploit one model system in the course of their careers. Occasionally, an investigator will switch models. The selection of a suitable model system is a crucial step in research design. Factors to consider include the accuracy of the model as a reflection of the human disease under investigation, the numbers of animals needed and ease of...
