The Value of Collaborating with Undergraduate Students on an Interdisciplinary Project

In this reflective case study, an interdisciplinary collaboration among undergraduate students in a computing science course with a team of graduate and faculty researchers at the same Canadian university will be described. The paper will then outline the considerable benefits that resulted from this community service-learning approach. The paper will also delineate recommendations for others wishing to utilize a similar model in future so as to maximize the effectiveness of such partnerships.
