structure that bear little resemblance to reality.Unfortunately, the construction of a computational model is typically one of the first tasks ayoung engineer is asked to perform. In order to address this issue, the authors are constructing aseries of experimental and analytical laboratory exercises which challenge the student‟sconfidence in computer results. In the current work, forced vibration tests of the building areperformed to obtain both the natural frequencies and the resulting mode shapes. In this paper,the procedure to experimentally determine the mode shapes is described. The student predictionsof the building response before and after experiencing the ambient and forced vibrationlaboratories are then examined. One might think that

, thechallenges continue in determining the number of units the course will require, and finding acommon location and time. Architecture has a culture of five unit studio laboratories, whileARCE and CM have more traditional combinations of three unit lecture courses, lecture courseswith activities, and three unit laboratories. The new course whatever its size needs to fit into theexisting curriculum schedule of all three departments.Another question considered was whether to develop a new course from scratch or scale asmaller existing interdisciplinary experience into a larger effort. The three department headsheld several meetings with those faculty members who had executed previous interdisciplinaryefforts to brainstorm and discuss ideas. Those

and site becomes an opportunity forexamining container use in a variety of climatic conditions.Hence the DORMaTECHture project is much more than an alternative solution to publichousing; it also becomes a classroom of the future: a living laboratory for the exploration ofgreen and sustainable technology. This paper discusses the development of this project duringthe design phase and, in doing so, illustrates how it developed and created a unique multi andinterdisciplinary educational experience.2.0 Current Methodological StepsTo date (January 2010), at the lead institution, Indiana University Purdue University –Indianapolis (IUPUI), this project has utilized a series of qualitative methods to set up anenvironment for the exchange of ideas and
