Presentation of eleven principles "designed to inform an international dialogue and to guide an experimental process of redesigning university undergraduate curricula worldwide" (they are almost incomprehensible but I've tried to summarize for clarity here; notice that after number five they begin to repeat themselves):
- teach disciplines rigorously in introductory courses
- highlight the challenges, open questions and uncertainties of each discipline
- create awareness of the great problems humanity is facing
- demonstrate and rigorously practice interdisciplinarity
- treat knowledge historically and examine it critically
- provide basics of the humanities, the natural and the social sciences
- engage with the world’s complexity and messiness.
- emphasize a broad and inclusive evolutionary mode of thinking (??)
- familiarize students with non-linear phenomena
- fuse theory and analytic rigor with practice and the application
- rethink the implications of modern communication and information technologies
