thismultidisciplinary course. Assessment data from over 150 online and onsite students, both incomputer science and engineering programs, showed that teaching evaluation scores were verysimilar in range and mean, regardless of class mode or student program. In fact, the highest mean Page 26.229.14score for the student perception of teaching was 4.3/5 in online courses, showing thatmultidisciplinary, laboratory-based engineering courses can be successfully taught online withengagement between professors and students.Bibliography[1] Sheehy, K.

The laboratory section of the course isgeared towards designing electromechanical devices. Students develop prototypes of theirdesigns in order to strengthen their design and visualization skills. The prototypes also givestudents the opportunity for hands-on learning. 3D printers, which can convert a CAD model toa physical product, are popular among the designers and inventors. As the printers become moreaffordable, 3D printing is moving

) provided students access to white-boards for brainstorming, computers, tools, and other resources to aid in realizing their design,including a three dimensional printer. Tables, chairs, and two sofas could be moved around bythe students during their semester, to best fit their needs. Students could request materials neededfor their projects, including wood, plastic boards, water pumps, special lamps… The space wasavailable for students to work on their own every week day from 9 am to 9 pm, in addition to in-class time. Laboratory assistants, who were also the teaching assistants for the course, wereavailable during non-class time. Page 26.1254.6

Interdisciplinary Problem-Solving among Pre- Collegiate Engineering Students via Materials Science PrinciplesAbstractGiven that fundamental materials science principles transcend traditional disciplinaryboundaries, a grand opportunity exists to leverage materials science concepts to facilitatemultidisciplinary teaching and learning. This paper presents the development andimplementation of a three-phase teaching module designed to foster organic, cross-disciplinarydiscourse and learning among pre-collegiate engineering students. Thirty domestic andinternational high school students were selected for an introductory four-week summer course inengineering. The students were divided into two classes, either civil engineering or nuclearengineering

The preliminary activities, particularly theteam building skills, described in Cutright et al.14 were used to enable thestudents' to develop into an effective interdisciplinary team as well as address thepotential lack of interest in core STEM classes. This is in line with Wilson etal.2,15 who reported that mentoring, education, and research were all critical forcollege and post-college persistence in STEM.

Furthermore, using the Informed Design Teaching and Learning Matrix5 as a framework,an evaluation was performed before and after the experience to monitor the evolution of thestudent as a researcher. The student, who was used to traditional course-based learning,manifested remarkable ability to progress and learn in a research-based environment. After theconclusion of the research experience, the student showed growing interest in continuing toperform mechatronics research at the graduate level.The rest of the paper is organized as follows: in Part I, we begin by addressing the project set
