Interdisciplinary (99) An academic-industry partnership is creating and offering an upper-level undergraduate course, Computer Aided Negotiation of Water Resources Disputes, in which students tackle a real-world, interdisciplinary problem in the form of an interstate water supply dispute. Students are integrating science, technology, public policy, and law to create mutually beneficial solutions to resource disputes. Each student plays the role of a lawyer, biologist, geologist or engineer employed by one of the water supply stakeholders. The stakeholder groups use (1) web-based, pedagogically-sound instructional tools, (2) a multi-disciplinary panel of working professionals, and (3) a computer model that utilizes linear programming algorithms to derive optimal solutions in accordance with priorities determined jointly by the stakeholders. The computer-aided negotiation process, which has been applied successfully to water resources disputes over the past two decades, is being used to develop and seek consensus on a set of operating rules for the system. Students are learning to utilize scientific knowledge and technological tools, function effectively on interdisciplinary teams, and successfully negotiate with disparate interests. Moreover, the students learn the background information required to participate in resource negotiations using research-supported pedagogy. George Mason University, the University of Lethbridge, and the University of Texas at Austin are serving as beta test sites for the course.

跨学科（99）一个学术和行业合作伙伴正在创建和提供一门高级本科课程，“水资源争端的计算机辅助谈判”，在这门课程中，学生们以州际供水争端的形式解决一个现实世界的跨学科问题。学生们将科学、技术、公共政策和法律结合起来，为资源争端创造互利的解决方案。每个学生扮演律师、生物学家、地质学家或受雇于供水利益相关者之一的工程师的角色。利益相关者群体使用(1)基于网络的、教学上合理的教学工具，(2)由工作专业人员组成的多学科小组，以及(3)利用线性规划算法根据利益相关者共同确定的优先级得出最佳解决方案的计算机模型。过去二十年来成功地应用于水资源争端的计算机辅助谈判程序，现在正被用来制订和寻求关于该系统的一套操作规则的协商一致意见。学生们正在学习利用科学知识和技术工具，在跨学科团队中有效地工作，并成功地与不同的兴趣进行谈判。此外，学生将学习使用研究支持教学法参与资源谈判所需的背景信息。乔治梅森大学、莱斯布里奇大学和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校是该课程的测试地点。
