After thoughtful conversations with stake holder’s broadsupport was found for the goals of the course, but not for the mechanism of using aninterdisciplinary course to meet those goals. Currently, we are transitioning from a course-basedapproach to a non-course-based approach for supporting more effective ramps into research.Introduction and Literature ReviewTraining future professionals for science, engineering, and math (STEM) careers is the primaryundergraduate training mission of university STEM departments.

This is attributable to the importance of the first year and itsfrequent coincidence with failed classes and dropouts [17]. In addition, completion of the first-year (i.e., first-year retention) is predictive of eventual graduation rates [17]. Therefore, significantefforts have been invested
