| Interdisciplinary Studies
(IDC4U) Credit Students successfully completing the Brock Science Mentorship and Co-operative Education Programs will be granted three credits. Upon successful completion of the IDC4U course Mentorship students will be granted one credit. The IDC4U course will help students develop and consolidate the skills required to solve problems, make decisions, and present findings beyond the scope of a single subject or discipline. Students will apply the principles and processes of inquiry and research to analyze historical innovations and exemplary research; and to investigate real-life situations and career opportunities in interdisciplinary endeavours. They will also assess their own cognitive and affective strategies, apply general skills in both familiar and new contexts, create innovative products, and communicate new knowledge. Cooperative Education Credits The remaining two credits will be earned through the co-operative
education curriculum. The co-operative education credits will be linked to
an in-school university level course. The in-school course will be related
to the associated discipline of their science research project. Additional
