Outreach Center (ROC): Mechanisms for Interdisciplinary CollaborationThe Research and Outreach Center (ROC) was established in 2010 by the SEMS Dean toconnect SEMS faculty and students with the region, the nation and the globe, demonstratediversity and interdisciplinary interests of all three departments with the school. ROC creates astimulating environment for faculty and staff to achieve their career goals and professionaldevelopment. Professional development of the faculty is achieved through researchconversations meetings (described more fully in the next section), summer research experiences,professional society training activities and technical/scientific conferences. From an institutionalstrategic point of view, the establishment of SEMS

Clemson University. Her research interests focus on social factors affecting the recruitment, retention, and career development of underrepresented students in engineering. Dr. Martin is a 2009 NSF CAREER awardee for her research entitled, ”Influence of Social Capital on Under-Represented Engineering Students Academic and Career Decisions.” She held an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Technology Policy Fellowship in 2012-2013, with a placement at the National Science Foundation. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Cross-Disciplinary Teamwork During an Undergraduate Student Project: Results To DateAbstractThis

ownwork to others. Later in the day, they presented their projects and learning accomplishments to agroup of local high school students interested in pursuing STEM majors.Let Them Go: Project Development StageThe mentors opted to follow a format loosely based on current industrial practice: thedevelopment team members would report to an alternating team lead who in turn provides theproject manager and client a synopsis of their team status. As the internship deliverable wouldcontinue on to support doctoral research at the university, a graduate student involved with theproject assumed the role of client, while the other mentor worked as project manager and kepttrack of progress, timelines and the next wave of tasks. The student-interns would then

, employees must haveknowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) that empower them to communicate and coordinate withtheir colleagues2. The ability to act as an effective team member and leader is critical forengineering graduates entering industry, business or other career paths. Accordingly, theCanadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has designated teamwork as one of thetwelve attributes engineering students must possess upon graduation3. Similarly, ABET hasincluded the “ability to function on multi-disciplinary skills” in its set of professional skills4.In our experience as engineering educators, based on observations as well as employer andstudent exit surveys, the traditional academic setting cannot give sufficient experiences forreasonable

challenges in multiagent decision controls, human factors, computer security, and power systems will be assessed. Projects range from notional resilience improvement to integration of distributed electric grid simulation to hardware in the loop. One anticipated engagement assessment method was the percentage of students that continue projects beyond the one semester course is reported. Student projects were measured based on completeness of understanding of resilient control systems topics as applied to critical infrastructure. We will also discuss findings from an integrative grid game course project between the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Criminal Justice departments at Temple University. Specifically, we will share lessons learned
