art as a communicationtool.1. Introduction1.1 Problem IdentificationAlmost all scientists that left a big impact on human civilization such as Isaac Newton,Descartes, and Michael Faraday were interdisciplinary researchers. The famous mathematicianand astronomer La Place says “to discover is to bring together two ideas that were previouslyunlinked” [1]. In the recent years, interdisciplinary research has become a necessary educationaltool for successfully finding solutions to real-world problems. It increases the experience-basedlearning, assists students in exploring unknown fields and discover new ideas and motivatesthem to complete their degrees. However, interdisciplinary collaboration can mostly be seen inthe postgraduate degree levels

This was done to gain a more thorough understanding of the skilllevel that electrical and computer engineering graduates have upon graduation, and the impactsof these skills on reducing the gap among both academia and industry. 3.1. Sample and populationTo identify the ideal sample size needed for this research, the authors conducted a power analysis[21]. A power analysis is a metric that aids in determining the minimum sample size for a study.It is made up of four components. If you are aware of or have projections about the first threeelements, you can determine the fourth element. The margin of error is the number thatrepresents the accuracy of the report.

instruments. A number of observations from this data led to refinementsin our project protocols. Some of these refinements have been reported in an ITiCSE panel [53]and research paper [54], as well as in a SIGCSE special session [55] and poster [56].One significant observation from the pilot study was that students rated every disposition as maxi-mally important for their career and course, except for adaptable and collaborative. This is likelybecause questions on dispositions elicited idealized responses from students. To avoid such re-sponses, the rating questions on the pre- and post-survey were changed to refer to behaviors insteadof dispositions. Students rated their application of dispositions in course assignments statisticallysignificantly

disagree.Literature ReviewEstablishing the link between EI and teamwork is crucial for several reasons. Teamwork skill isstressed by ABET but unevenly distributed among engineering graduates according to employersurveys (Marra et al. 2016). When students with varying skill levels work together in teams, theirinteractions and perceptions of themselves and others can influence their EI formation.Underrepresented minority (URM) students may be particularly affected. Studies have shownthat female students who asked questions during teamwork were perceived as less competent inSTEM (Hoehn et al. 2020), and racial minority students suffered from low self-esteem for fear ofbeing viewed as diversity “tokens” (Ong et al. 2020).

In spite of these programs running fordecades, the interaction between universities and companies was not progressing fast enough.Therefore, a few years ago NSF’s Directorates for Education and Human Resources; Engineering;and Computer and Information Science and Engineering introduced ‘Non-Academic ResearchInternships for Graduate Students (INTERN)’. Even the critics of Stokes’ model have recognizedthat ‘working with industry can provide tremendous benefits and generate many new questions offundamental importance’ [5].A key aspect that is absent in these various analyses of research has been the education

Beyond learning, researchers have identified that students’ retention rates are positivelycorrelated to their access to individuals who can provide affective, financial, or informationalsupport, especially in traditionally underrepresented groups [6]. Within these or similartheoretical foundations, engineering educators have identified several specific ways socialinteractions positively influence academic outcomes [7]–[12].
