, less than 5% of the undergraduate degrees awarded in the US are in engineering,compared to 13% in European countries and nearly 25% in Asia [1]. It is becoming increasingly clearthat universities in the United States must adapt their teaching and retention practices to adequatelyprepare students to fill critical roles in a technology focused, multi-disciplinary workplace [2]. Thedesire for a more interdisciplinary approach to undergraduate engineering education is evident as thetransition to more geographically disparate teams is driving the need for engineering professionals todemonstrate that they possess not only the requisite technical acumen, but skills like communication,teamwork and conflict resolution that are not typically taught in
