ABSTRACT

The authors have recently designed an interdisciplinary cluster of courses in science and mathematics for non-science majors. Content in both courses is taught through understanding a current complex societal problem that requires a scientific solution. A course project using concept mapping and blogging software as organizational tools for students is presented.
