Abstract

In this paper we present our experience in building and lecturing an interdisciplinary CS course aimed at teaching the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in a cultural context. Combining modeling concepts and ideas brought from philosophy and history of ideas we present a novel way to teach UML and modeling beyond its original environment. Course design, implementation and results are presented. Although the course was very experimental results were quite positive.
