In a rapidly changing world, we need to consider the following two points while planning higher education; change in student profiles and their learning needs; demand for collaborative efforts of experts to tackle world-wide problems, such as global warming. In 2013, at Sabanci University, we started to redesign our freshman science course to better prepare our students for their careers  after graduation according to global needs. In this talk, I will be sharing the design and the implementation process of our integrated science course.
