chances for employment upon graduation.With these beneficial outcomes for students in mind, why is it that single-discipline designcourses – particularly those for engineering capstone design, still prevail? Research offers longlaundry lists of difficulties associated with developing collaborative design coursework includingsystemic challenges (Behdinan, Pop-Iliev, & Foster (2014); Bannerot, Kastor, Ruchhoeft, &Terry (2004)). An 11-year review of the literature suggests that while providing students withauthentic interdisciplinary practice is important, the ability to model and teach ininterdisciplinary ways is lacking (Van den Beemt, MacLeod, Vander Veen, Van de Ven, van Baalen, Klaassen, & Boon, 2020).The hypothesis of Newell, Doty

. Courses and programs in these four areas also share somechallenges. They often depend on contingent faculty and compete for resources with disciplinarycurricula and research programs. Because of the competitive environment in which they operate,the faculty who design and teach in them are often under pressure to provide evidence of thevalue they add and challenged with finding a place in perpetually overcrowded undergraduatecurricula. The history of engineering education demonstrates that curricular transformation inengineering is difficult at best.

suspect that liberal arts institutions inparticular focus on teaching non-technical knowledge and skills, which are also valued byindustry [1]. A more balanced educational experience might be particularly relevant given thelarge number of folks with engineering degrees who work outside of engineering occupations;the NAE estimated that as of 2013 there were 65% of all degreed engineers who worked inoccupations not considered engineering [41]. The ABET EAC program criteria add additionalcurricular constraints on specialty degrees, with the majority of the identified aspects relating totechnical issues; programs accredited under the general criteria do not face these additionalrestrictions [42].
