EL PASO, TX - First Year UTEP Students can now enroll in "Thinking Boldly with Star Trek," a course developed to help students acquire or sharpen critical thinking and learning skills.
The course is taught by Nancy Hill, assistant director for technical services at UTEP's University Library. We're told Hill uses Star Trek to start discussions about complex social, scientific and philosophical questions. This year the course will focus on four main themes: time, space, machines and monsters.
And yes, students do spend class time watching Star Trek episodes.
Star Trek was created by El Paso native Gene Roddenberry.
