The Office for Interprofessional Education, Research and Collaborative Practices is currently working with faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering to offer one-semester interdisciplinary teamwork courses for undergraduates during the 2021-2022 academic year.
These courses include three main components:
- An authentic and meaningful project with a community, nonprofit, or corporate partner that students complete in small, interdisciplinary teams
- Coursework specific to the project that is provided by an interdisciplinary team of faculty and staff
- Teamwork skills education in order for students to achieve higher impact on their teams
These three-credit courses will be offered in the fall and/or spring semesters for one semester, and courses will be offered in collaboration with think[box], Institute for Smart, Secure and Connected Systems (ISSACS), and other community-engagement service learning entities at CWRU. Students will present their project and deliverables at the end of each semester. Projects will be longitudinal over several semesters, and teams will 鈥渉andover鈥� the project to the next student team at the beginning of each semester.
If your unit or center is interested in being a site for an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate students or if you have other questions about this coursework, please contact Associate Provost Tyler Reimschisel at [email protected].
