This is increasingly true in modern society inwhich scientists and engineers must address complex, interdisciplinary challenges on a globalscale. While current efforts at teaching interdisciplinary problem-solving at the collegiate-level(e.g., class projects, capstone courses) exist, the effectiveness of many of these approaches areineffective in achieving interdisciplinary learning objectives. Richter and Paretti (2009)identified two main learning barriers to common interdisciplinary approaches: (1) students areunable to identify the relationship between their own

IntroductionIt has been recognized that the current generation of STEM graduates need the skills andknowledge that would enable them to deal with the complex, interdisciplinary problems theywould face as they graduate from college and enter the workforce 1. Broad-based andinterdisciplinary knowledge is not easy to come by and it is the most difficult to deliver in classrooms. In order to achieve these goals, the first key step would be to have faculty well-trainedand well-versed in the field of interdisciplinary work and collaboration. In addition, theinstitution could support a “teacher-scholar” model to
