Interview and survey findings across studio courses: students reported that "students developed problem-solving skills beyond what they would normally build in a disciplinary studio course," citing examples such as an English major learning from an illustrator's questioning and an advertising student learning programming to write an AI character's dialogue.
"Because of the interdisciplinary nature of these courses, students developed problem-solving skills beyond what they would normally build in a disciplinary studio course."
