. Throughout the evolutionof the interdisciplinary teaching strategies, the authors gained knowledge, experience andconvictions that guided future experimentation. This article aims to share these experiences anddescribe future plans to measure the impact on learning. A subsequent article will discussattempts to measure changes in students’ learning.The theme of the interdisciplinary, experiential learning in the two courses is the societal impactsof new technologies. The courses are elective courses from different departments; Nanoscienceand Nanotechnology, a science elective, and Science Fiction, a general studies elective, areintegrated with three activities focused around this theme.

Computer Science (STEM)in the 21st century and ensuring the competitiveness of the United States in the global economy[1]. To date, there have been a number of emerging efforts to integrate computational thinkingwith STEM education [2], and there are many opportunities for students to learn aboutcomputers, computer programming and computational thinking in K-12. For example, Carnegie-Mellon University, Purdue University, the Computer Science Teachers’ Association (CSTA), theInternational Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and others are leading the way to bringcomputer science and computational thinking to K-12 through programs like CS4HS [3,4].

Customers, especially from industry and government, rely on standards toensure goods and services satisfy their needs while improving health, safety, environmental, andsocial equity aspects. Standards identify and evaluate technologies, thus plays a vital role indetermining which technologies are adopted and how they are deployed in industry andproducts.4 Engineers that understand that role will be more effective in incorporating standardsin their work so that sustainability is improved. Moreover, standards encompass activitiesbeyond the scope of commerce. Consequently, standards shape the sustainability of a wide arrayof market and non-market activities.Recognition of this has lead to the development of standards that explicitly

PerspectivesAn emergent framework that has proven fruitful in the study of student career choice andpersistence is that of role identity (or, more simply for this work, identity)11. Developed in ageneral science context12,13 and modified for use in physics14 and mathematics education15, theidentity framework used in this paper encompasses a set of self-beliefs held by an individual inrelation to their perceptions of a specific role; for example, that of a good engineering student.As articulated in earlier studies12-14, an individual's identity is a composite of their beliefs in foursub-domains: their interest in the subject or role, their self-beliefs about the recognition that theyreceive from others in the subject, their perceived competence in

STEM education must provide emerging scientists and engineers withinnovative talents to energize the economic engines of the future.A critical juncture in the undergraduate STEM education pathway is the first two years ofcollege when the majority of attrition occurs because students experience many academicchallenges in gatekeeping courses [7].

research also describes some of the experiences that women in engineering uniquely face.Generally speaking, engineering education and engineering practice both can serve as a “chillyclimate” for women, enforcing a sense of non-belonging and hindering women’s acclimation(and/or desire to acclimate) to engineering communities [11], [12]. Cech’s research shows howengineering students’ reasons for identifying with the field are gendered: women are more likelyto value the social consciousness of identifying with engineering, and men are more likely tovalue technological leadership [3]. Ayre, Mills, and Gill find that persistence in the chilly climateof engineering depends on women having a strong sense of belonging to engineering; thus, itdepends also
