Far Beyond STEM: Integrating the Arts, Humanities and STEM

Far Beyond STEM: Integrating the Arts, Humanities and STEM is a meeting for faculty interested in the use of challenging civic issues to create interdisciplinary courses and programs that engage students and improve their learning. Participants in this meeting will:

• Acquire an understanding of educational trends and research advancing the curricular integration of arts, humanities, and STEM, and its importance to students, institutions, and society at large.
• Exchange examples of innovative trans- and inter- disciplinary curricula on campuses across the region.
• Design or modify their own courses, using the SENCER approach, which links STEM disciplinary content to civic questions and also incorporates content traditionally associated with the humanities, social sciences and arts.
• Learn more about the landscape of assessment and evaluation for innovative interdisciplinary courses and modules.
• Meet and network with colleagues from around the region interested in similar work.
