Intellectual Fusion
Gone are the days of one-track learning. ASU is transforming the educational landscape, recognizing that knowledge for today’s world must be three-dimensional. Solving contemporary problems requires a new kind of brainpower, one that calls for such previously distinct subjects as engineering, the arts, economics, social sciences, and biology to blend together. That doesn’t mean that traditional fields of study are taboo. It just means that non-traditional fields of study are important too. Experiments are encouraged. Creativity is essential. Cross-discipline collaboration can be electric. And that slight shift in attitude creates a dynamic environment in which to work and learn.
