Ourmulti-facetted department includes, interior design, architectural technology, facilitiesmanagement, construction management, and electrical engineering technology, and all theseprograms will play a role in the creation of a certificate leading to a multidisciplinary capstonestudio course. The goal is to have student led multi-disciplinary design teams work together on avertical structure to achieve a Zero Energy building design. Combining the efforts of fivedifferent degree programs coursework, we are looking to give students a real-world experience ofgive and take amongst peers, project management, and design development.

, fraud, or other kinds of greed, have a significant impact on society and people. Thefinancial sector functions on trust and credibility since the products are not solid objects and notdemonstratable like video games. Most offerings are futuristic but play a substantial role in anyeconomy. Once honesty is removed, their futuristic products cannot be trusted, and the businessfails. In most cases, the executives face legal issues due to the breach of ethics, laws, andregulations. While engineering graduates may not work directly in finances, they may becomepart of information technology teams and software developers as employees of suchcorporations. Students may not be directly involved in unethical practices or be aware of them,but they still

Goldberg et al. (2014) described howindustry involvement in a multidisciplinary design course benefited both students as well asindustry participants. In addition, such involvement by the industry professionals makes thecurriculum current and relevant to the discipline [2]. Weissbach, et al.

Dependingon funds availability faculty may not be eager to hire undergraduate students, since they maytake a longer time to train and are not expected to obtain too soon results that could bedisseminated through scholarly publications. And from the student perspective, if funding is nota choice, they may prefer to get part-time jobs rather than dedicate time to unpaid research. Forundergraduate engineering technology students, for example, this is usually the case, withstudents considering getting involved in undergraduate research only if funding is available.Most undergraduate research at different academic institutions focuses on summer programs.

Employmentamong civil engineers will increase by 11% between 2016 to 2026.However, university enrollment trends suggest that growth in degrees in civil engineering willfall short of the projected 11% [5].
