At the end ofthe workshop, a handwritten survey was given, and a follow up survey was distributed overemail six months later. In the exit survey, 100% of the ten teachers said that they felt theworkshop would help their teaching in the future, in courses such as physics, physical science,genetics, social studies in collaboration with the science teachers, math, geometry, probabilityand statistics. Of the ten teachers, 8 definitely planned to use workshop activities in theclassroom, one participant was not sure, and one did not. The most popular activities

While it is commonly related to education andengineering perspectives, recent studies have required collaboration between the fields ofcomputer science, business, management, and information science among others [5]. Theinterdisciplinary nature of this new field offers a challenge to doctoral students seeking toachieve a degree in the field. One of these challenges becomes apparent when forming doctoralcommittees that include members capable of directing and supporting students to the successfulcompletion of
