Embedding Interdisciplinarity: Developing a Generic Undergraduate EBL Team Project Module
Global and societal issues are best addressed by
interdisciplinary teams. This requires graduates to be able to communicate their knowledge and skills across interdisciplinary boundaries. Building on previous work, this project will develop an undergraduate interdisciplinary EBL module which will be open to all disciplines across the university. 24 students from 5 disciplines will work together and provide feedback on their experiences of the module so as to identify institutional issues, including support for WebCT.

New, Experience-Based Learning for Systems Biology
In the existing PhD curriculum for Systems Biology, the central course on Integrative Systems Biology is taught in a linear fashion, with lectures and tutorials. Though successful in terms of transferring knowledge, students have reported not feeling fully equipped to work as beginning Systems Biologists themselves. This project intends to improve the way this course is delivered by recasting it into an experience-based learning unit. The new course unit will train students to solve representative problems of quantitative biology. It will also encourage them to reflect on the process of modelling, thereby mastering it and appreciating its value before entering experimental and theoretical laboratory work.
