Specifically, our study draws from engineering education research,bridging the gap between research and practice to answer three research questions related to the program: (1) Howdid the program design enable a more effective understanding of interdisciplinary problem-sets? (2) How didparticipants experience the interdisciplinary work of the program? (3) Did the program affect participants' impact oninterdisciplinary problem-sets after the program? Our findings highlight the benefits of interdisciplinary, holistic,and hands-on approaches to AI education and provide insights for

City of Omaha proposed a $2. 5-million north-south expressway through the oldest parts of Omaha,including all North Omaha (Fletcher, 2020). Proposed as an economic development project, the NorthFreeway was intended to speed cattle to the Omaha Stockyard. Targeting the Near North Sideneighborhood, the new freeway was planned to cut through historic black and poor neighborhoods.Construction was nearly completed by 1963. In 1977 the City of Omaha announced plans to extend thehighway and as late as 1981 an additional 57 housing units were demolished to make way for anextension to the highway. In total, more than 2,000 homes, churches, businesses, and other buildingswere demolished over 34 years of construction.As a final course activity to prepare

The Independent ResearchWorksheet helped the group identify what they needed to learn about the problem in the casestudy and develop a plan for acquiring that knowledge. The students were assessed in thefollowing ways: pre- and post-test on content knowledge, group presentation, case study report,concept map, and teamwork assessment. The group presentation was a way to test theirknowledge without having them use AI to write a paper.

BMEs often use knowledge in design, administration and management, and customerneeds assessment [1]. Typical work activities of a BME include analyzing data or information,organizing and planning work, determining compliance with standards, building teams, anddrafting and specifying technical device parts [1]. The undergraduate BME capstone designcourse is often used as a “catchall” to develop these critical professional skills; however, to buildcompetency, it is recommended that these skills be practiced

For instance, students mightbe able to transfer credit, but for elective courses rather than for courses in their desired degreeprogram if the articulation agreement is not developed enough [7,8]. This has negativeconsequences for transfer students as they have to spend more time and financial resources tocomplete their education.In addition, articulation agreements are often difficult to understand and navigate for communitycollege students [9].
