Infusing Energy into Undergraduate Education: A Collaborative Curriculum Development Approach

This chapter will outline a collaborative approach to develop an interdisciplinary undergraduate energy program that embraces the strengths of and connections between STEM disciplines, social sciences, policy, communications, business, and the arts at your institution. The strategies presented will be based on the Collaborative Leadership Action Model developed by the author (Gosselin 2015) as well as his work as a facilitator with the Traveling Workshop Program of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. Each curriculum developed is different. There is no "one size fits all" for the curriculum outcome. The focus will be on a continuum of processes that can facilitate the development process.
