Abstract for the conference program
We examine how authentic interdisciplinary science experiences allow undergraduate science students to transfer their learning beyond the initial learning context. We show that when undergraduate science students practice science in an authentic interdisciplinary science environment, they better excel as future interdisciplinary scientists. We recommend design principles to help other science programs foster an effective interdisciplinary community of science practice in their contexts. The presenter will engage the participants in discussion on how to incorporate these principles in other educations STEM contexts.
