An educational sea-change is needed more than ever given the problems that face our world now and that threaten to worsen in the next few decades.This book is divided into sections devoted to courses that, despite their interdisciplinary nature, we categorized into the following fields: Social Science, Literature and Composition, Computer Science, Mathematics, Art, Environment and Ecology, Engineering, Public Health, and Administration.
