paper describes our origins and approach, andsummarizes some of our progress and challenges to date.IntroductionThere is increasing demand for higher education to produce graduates who are job- or career-ready 1,2. For example, most technical companies expect that new hires will be able to tacklecomplex multidisciplinary problems, and the ability to innovate is now an “integrative meta-attribute” desired in all engineering graduates 3. Pulling together disparate fields in innovativeways is now an expectation. A series of reports from the National Academies, e.g., “Educatingthe Engineer of 2020” 4 and “Rising Above the Gathering Storm” 5 emphasize the need forlifelong learning that bridges multiple disciplines.

In the USA, students applying for universityadmission are generally assessed on the basis of their grade point average (GPA) in their highschool classes and by scores on standardized tests, generally the SAT and/or ACT. In the UK,universities look at the number of “A-Levels” that a student acquired during their secondaryeducation career and what subjects those occurred in.
