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）学术行业伙伴关系正在创建和提供高级本科课程，计算机辅助水资源争议的谈判，在该课程中，学生以室内供水供应纠纷的形式解决了现实世界中的跨学科问题。学生正在整合科学，技术，公共政策和法律，以为资源纠纷创建互惠互利的解决方案。每个学生都扮演着一位供水利益相关者雇用的律师，生物学家，地质学家或工程师的角色。利益相关者组使用（1）基于Web的，教学上的教学工具，（2）工作专业人员的多学科小组，以及（3）使用线性编程算法来根据利益相关者共同确定的优先级来得出最佳解决方案的计算机模型。在过去的二十年中，已经成功地应用于水资源纠纷的计算机辅助谈判过程，正在用于制定和在系统的一系列操作规则上达成共识。学生正在学习利用科学知识和技术工具，有效地对跨学科团队发挥作用，并成功地以不同的利益进行谈判。此外，学生学习使用研究支持的教学法参与资源谈判所需的背景信息。乔治·梅森大学（George Mason University），莱斯布里奇大学（University of Lethbridge）和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（University of Dexas of Austin）正在作为该课程的Beta测试地点。
