An interdisciplinary (ID) course based on science fiction is described. The course was developed by a four−man team consisting of a physicist, a poet, a psychologist, and a literary scholar. A unique feature of the course is that all of the teaching team meet every class. Objectives, structure and development of the course are discussed with particular emphasis on the ID approach, and a typical syllabus for one book is described in detail. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the course are presented.
