This seminar tells the story and inner workings of Science One, an integrated first year program offered to 72 students each year, and how, over its six year existence, Science One has been gradually transforming the educational experience for the other 6,000 science undergraduates at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Science One has inspired a variety of new undergraduate programs and courses, and is changing both student and faculty expectations of undergraduate learning in science. 

Maria Klawe and Julyet Benbasat, Dean and Associate Dean, respectively, Faculty of Science, University of British Columbia have developed an integrated science curriculum, SCIENCE ONE: http://www.science.ubc.ca/~science1
