The rapid shift from the post-Industrial Revolution to the Digital Age has created an interrelated global society with increasingly complex and interconnected problems. Solving these problems requires working with multiple cultures and forms of knowledge, transcending the confines of single disciplines.  This new approach to problem-solving requires not only disciplinary expertise but interdisciplinary expertise.
