Abstract :
In recent years, interdisciplinarity has represented one of the most widely used and encouraged teaching practices among educators. This practice has generated a promising expectation of success when applied to undergraduate programs. However, its implementation requires dedication and effort from both students and professors. Through a case study, this paper promotes an analysis about this issue and describes some social games as final product from an interdisciplinary case study, named Project Differences.
