The goal of these courses, premiering in Spring 2008, is to increase life scienceknowledge of mathematical, chemistry, physics and engineering undergraduate students and toincrease mathematical, chemical, physical and engineering knowledge of life sciencesundergraduate students. In short the courses as well as the laboratories are meant to betransdisciplinary and interdisciplinary. The feasibility of transitioning the developed laboratoryto an

earliest philosophers might be considered closetinstrumentalists, as they saw technology as merely the fabric on which human actions wereinterweaved: “The traditional view has been that social institutions (family, religion, economy,state) tend toward a certain independence in ways that call for an attentive effort to incorporateand subordinate them to any particular vision of justice or the good…. In such works [Plato,Aristotle], however, techne remains in the background; it seems to be accepted as relativelypliable, readily following the goals embodied in other social institutions.”5Many scholars have argued effectively against the neutrality of technology – we will consider herefour that directly address the instrumental view.

There were several program differences that needed to be addressed, however.First, SPM was only offered in the fall at MTU, so the collaboration could not take place duringthe spring. No action was taken to address this difference, so the collaboration was applied duringthe fall 2019 and fall 2020 semesters, but not the spring 2020 and spring 2021 semesters.Second, both courses at MTU were taught by the same instructor. No action needed to be taken toaddress this difference.Third, TSP and SPM had no overlapping instruction time.
