While our students love their experience at Notre Dame, disciplinary specialization creates a fragmentation of knowledge, undermining the ideal of a liberal arts education. Boundaries are inevitably made between disciplines, leading to a siloed feeling. This may be especially true for STEM students with heavy course loads in their majors. In this panel, Notre Dame STEM faculty describe how they use the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art to create learning experiences that include the best of the humanities and the sciences in a single classroom environment. Panelists:  Nancy Michael, Associate Teaching Professor Neuroscience & Behavior Craig Goehler, Associate Teaching Professor Bahram Moasser, Associate Teaching Professor https://learning.nd.edu/workshops-and-events/2024/10/11/faculty-panel-breaking-down-the-silos-integrating-the-arts-into-stem-courses/

This workshop explores the critical role of transparency in integrating AI into academic assignments.
