Interdisciplinary scientific learning

Similarly, WDYK Forensics made use of the popularity of the CSI television series to draw science students into interdisciplinary scientific learning. The application of a wide variety of research-grade instrumentation to problem solving, combined with a mock trial, gives students the opportunity both to generate relevant data and to critically evaluate the security of their conclusions. Inquiry-oriented science seminars such as this could focus on a wide variety of applications in... 

There is a bothersome angle to having pointed to the interdisciplinary nature of catalysis. While we wish to thereby emphasize our strong relationships everywhere, such description appears superficially to place us nowhere in particular. What is the place of catalytic research when viewed in the context of the changes taking place in our scientific society, in the institutions of learning, and with respect to the methods by which we define areas of scientific endeavor ... 

Acid in the Environment Lessons Learned and Future Prospects provides an overview of the important science and policy issues pertaining to acid deposition. Acid in the Environment uses an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on important ecological impacts of acid deposition, the transboundary nature of the pollutants that cause acid rain, and domestic and international policies designed to reduce the emission of these pollutants. By emphasizing issues such as the scientific lessons learned from acid dep-... 

The overall goals of this interdisciplinary conference were to summarize scientific and policy lessons learned from the attempt to mitigate acid deposition, and to discuss the future of transboundary pollutants and market-based emission control systems. Anthony Janetos, Vice President of the Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment gave the keynote address providing the conferees with an historical perspective on lessons learned from the acid deposition research experience. In the evening address, Paul Portney, the former President and Senior Fellow of Resources for the Future discussed economical benefits and costs of air pollution... 

Readers interested in transport phenomena at different scales will And molecular, pore-scale, particle-scale and particle system or processing equipment considerations, as in every volume of the series, and those aiming at interdisciplinary approaches will see clear links to food engineering, pharmaceutical technology, biotechnology, mechanics, and material science. People looking for their specific product may not be able to find it in the present volume, but they may learn from methods and approaches successfully applied to other products. For a book without encyclopedic ambitions, which aims at the educated use of modem scientific methods in practice, this would be the biggest success. 

The results from the effectiveness analysis of the teaching-learning construction of Project-Mentoring were chosen to demonstrate that a combination of engineering topics with interdisciplinary contents and non-scientific subjects, as a form of project- and team based education, has greater appeal for young people and particularly women. 

The large number of scientific disciplines represented in conducting polymer reseach include many subfields in the areas of chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. In fact, extensions into biochemistry, biology, and medicine have now occurred. This has led to a significant amount of interdisciplinary collaboration as researchers have learned to communicate methods and processes across tlie scientific disciplines.
