Abstract :
In recent years, interdisciplinarity has represented one of the most widely used and encouraged teaching practices among educators. This practice has been generating a promising expectation of success when applied on graduate courses. However, its implementation requires dedication and effort from both students and professors. This poster describes a case study carried out. In addition, professors and students have evaluated the process.
