Detailed Description and Purpose of the IPE Experience

The goal of this course is to teach students the skills to effectively collaborate in
interdisciplinary teams. Funding agencies worldwide, including the NSF, are placing greater
emphasis on interdisciplinary research. For example, the NSF has identified “Growing
Convergence Research” as one of its 10 Big Ideas. True convergence research requires the
development of interdisciplinary scientific teams (groups of two or more working collaboratively
to solve a problem). However, graduate students are often siloed within programs, and not
necessarily trained to engage with others outside their field. This course aims to teach
students the necessary skills to lead and participate in scientific or interdisciplinary teams.
