Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching in the Utrecht AI program: Why and how?

Abstract

Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary education can provide relevant insights to ubiquitous computing and other fields. In this article, we share our experience with multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching in the two-year Artificial Intelligence Research Master’s program at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. In particular, we zoom in on our motivation for, and experience with, revising courses in which non-engineering topics can be related to a more engineering inclined audience, and vice-versa.
