Water resources are central to Oregon's well-being and development. Oregon State University is the state's flagship university for training water professionals with a rich roster of faculty and courses.
The Water Resources Graduate Program at Oregon State University is an interdisciplinary program that intentionally incorporates perspectives from and collaboration across multiple disciplines. Graduate faculty in the program include faculty from more than fourteen departments and programs across eight different colleges (Agriculture; Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences; Engineering; Forestry; Public Health and Human Sciences; Liberal Arts; Science; and Business).
In Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research (2005), the National Academies provided the following definition of interdisciplinary research:
“Interdisciplinary research (IDR) is a mode of research by teams or individuals that integrates information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts, and/or theories from two or more disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge to advance fundamental understanding or to solve problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline or area of research practice.”
Similarly in OSU Water Resources Graduate Programs, we define interdisciplinary education as a way of teaching and learning (including experiential learning through research) that integrates information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts, and/or theories from multiple disciplines. Specifically, interdisciplinary education in water resources should integrate learning among disciplines in STEM-related fields (such as hydrology, technology, engineering, geology, mathematics, et al) with disciplines in the humanities such as public policy, sociology, anthropology, etc.
