Interdisciplinary fields

is to photograph club events throughout the year and to organize club newsletters as needed. I have also been involved with organizing and running our lawnmower and snowblower clinic. • Engineering Ambassadors - Engineering Ambassadors is an interdisciplinary club that engineering students participate in. I…

Bioclimatic architecture is a concept that was first defined by Victor Olgyay in 1963 (Bondars 2013, 84) and describes the relationship between humans, the climate and the architectural design of a structure. Bioclimatic design analyses the relationship between a favourable microclimate inside a structure that is in synergy with the surrounding macroclimate. This synergy allows for minimal mechanical heating or cooling to achieve the microclimate for habitation (Larasati and Mochtar 2013, 823).…

Economics is an interdisciplinary field of study that has greatly contributed to the study of resource management as it helps relate households, markets, industries, and economies. In relation to resource management, the most relevant topics deal with human resource planning, financial…

doing was a work of people--educated, creative people-- who had been inspired. For me, nothing could have been more exciting. I had seen first hand a field I wanted to become a part of, a field enhanced by the interdisciplinary works of engineers, scientists, and physicians. It’s so exciting and inspiring to know that by the time I enter this field, so many more advancements will have been made. Humans are so interesting in that we are constantly creating, but I think the one of the fascinating…

Over the course of this fall semester, I have gained a wealth of knowledge from the Professional Issues I course. Through the development of skills for application of various theories and concept, that relate to learning, teaching, communicating and motivating others. Which are important “tools” for my “toolbox” as a future Physical Therapist. Therefore, the purpose of this final paper is to address the following topics to demonstrate this knowledge. First, the application of the BORE model of…

Science Education, 99(1) 98-120 Maker Movement has taken the educational field by storm due to its perceived potential as a driver of creativity, excitement, and innovation (Honey & Kanter, [Honey, M., 2013]; Martinez & Stager, [Martin, L., 2013]). Making is encouraged as progressing free enterprise, increasing…

I have seen that Huxley’s classes clearly reflect the interdisciplinary nature of environmental science, with elements of political science, economics, biology, ecology, oceanography, and chemistry, just to name a few. A well-rounded Huxley education will advance my learning and experience not only in environmental chemistry, but also in those many other fields. If accepted, I will contribute to Huxley and to the field of environmental science by applying my strong analytical, problem-solving…

In an effort to develop a theory that can provide a broader explanation of crime, and ideally, to develop a general theory of criminal behaviour, criminologists have focused on theoretical integration, a combination of two or more theories to form a new theory with the assumption being that the resulting theory will be superior to any individual theories standing alone. According to Hunter and Dantzker (2012:167) no one theory is adequate enough to explain all crime and it is for this reason…

My interest in both engineering and social issues grew from my involvement in various organizations, which broadened my knowledge and focused my interests. Stony Brook’s REU program is the best fit for me because of its focus on diverse and interdisciplinary…

benefits to employment in medical social work is the diversity of populations one is able to practice. In addition, the clientele served by the medial social worker is constantly changing.
