Successful development of an innovative, integrative and interdisciplinary academic curriculum requires understanding the need for change from both intellectual or academic and career perspectives. In this panel discussion, a group of professors who have developed interdisciplinary programs or collaborated on interdisciplinary projects will join with a manager from industry to share their views on the future, experiences working across traditional boundaries, and models for bridging the gap between disciplines.

Organized by Stephanie E. August, Ph.D., Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
