Abstract

We have developed a series of three interdisciplinary courses that explore the interplay of science, technology, and society. We designed these courses to be interdisciplinary "from the ground up", in all facets of development: course design, instruction, and audience. This article presents the method of our pedagogy development, followed by an overview of one course (Green Works: Exploring Technology and the Search for Sustainability). Finally, we discuss the evaluation of the Green Works course and present lessons learned as well as recommendations for adoption of this method at other institutions.
