Bryn Mawr College and Purdue University are creating a set of upper level undergraduate course materials in the emerging multidisciplinary area of science of information. Materials and course modules developed during this project lead students to an understanding of the concept of "information" that transcends boundaries between disciplines, especially between physical and life sciences, communication, and knowledge extraction from massive datasets. The course materials ground the study of information in concrete computational models.The past six decades have brought information theory to the crossroads of several traditional disciplines: mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, biology, and electrical engineering. A repository of tangible, hands-on course modules is helping students, faculty, and researchers draw upon the latest discoveries from multiple disciplines, replicate recent research, and learn to apply the techniques and tools of information-based inquiry in their lives.The resources and infrastructure of the NSF STC Center for Science of Information (CSoI) are being used to maximize the educational impact of this project, including a focus on increasing diversity, gender and ethnic balance, and broadening of participation. Workshops are being conducted to train faculty in the use of the course materials.

布林莫尔学院和普渡大学正在创建一套高层次的本科课程材料在新兴的多学科领域的信息科学。在这个项目中开发的材料和课程模块引导学生理解“信息”的概念，超越学科之间的界限，特别是物理和生命科学，通信和从大规模数据集中提取知识之间的界限。在过去的六十年里，信息论已经成为数学、统计学、计算机科学、物理学、生物学和电子工程等传统学科的交叉点。一个有形的，动手的课程模块库正在帮助学生，教师和研究人员利用多个学科的最新发现，复制最近的研究，并学习在他们的生活中应用基于信息的查询的技术和工具。NSF STC信息科学中心（CSoI）的资源和基础设施正在被用来最大限度地提高该项目的教育影响，包括注重增加多样性、性别和族裔平衡以及扩大参与。正在举办讲习班，培训教员使用教材。
