Our Vision: Imagine the Creative Intersections of Art and Science
Creative Inquiry at the Intersections of Art and Science
These classes are a collaboration between UC's Office of Integrated Research, the Honors College, CEAS (College of Engineering and Applied Sciences) at the University of Cincinnati, and DAAP (College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning).  We are driven by UC's Honors Program vision of developing, "students into global citizen scholars who lead innovative efforts toward solving the world’s complex problems."  In order to solve complex (wicked) problems we strive to create an inclusive, diverse culture of inquiry at the creative intersections of art and science that will provide transformative experiences for our students with lifelong impacts.

In this endeavor we are inspired by the approaches of prominent research universities such as MIT and Rice University.  
"The MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) creates new opportunities for art, science and technology to thrive as interrelated, mutually informing modes of exploration, knowledge and discovery."
and 
from Rice University's Public Art site: 
Art expands our capacity to perceive, understand and represent the world.
