notexplicitly reflected in the rubric’s criteria. Specifically within the chemical engineering literature,many key themes were already reflected in the rubric, with the exception of uncertainty. Fromthe electrical and mechanical engineering literature, themes such as industrial ecology,technological adaptability, e-waste, and user experience were missing from the rubric. Inaddition, design for “X” (DfX) approaches, such as design for disassembly, were commonlydiscussed in the electrical and mechanical literature.3 Affordability and Ethics Innovation Equity (Across Disciplines

project. In order to achieve this successfully, the faculty member must beintegrated and a regular participant in the design project. In the spirit of the ASCE Code of Ethics,those mentors must serve in the area of their professional competence; thereby requiring that eachmulti-disciplinary design experience involve an engineer of a related field. While it might beassumed that multiple professors assigned to a single senior design project may be redundant, thismodel matches professional practice as each discipline would approach the contractual relationshipaware of not only the hierarchy within the design team, but also branched into the paired designfirms.In addition to adhering to ethical practice of serving in the engineering realm of

engineering work. It is found that experiences promoting a service ethic andbroadening oneself outside of engineering are important predictors of interest in impact-driven work. What is lessexpected is the significant importance of innovation interests and innovation self-efficacy for engineering studentsinterested in creating societal impact. Deeper exploration reveals that certain academic experiences and proximalinfluences have a direct and significant effect on a student’s interest in impact-driven work, and this relationship isstrengthened by the partial mediation of innovation self-efficacy. As such, this study suggests that the developmentof innovation self-efficacy is important in cultivating engineering students who are interested in impact

the elements of a healthy and ethical relationship between thecommunity partners and engineering students during the learning experience.Sustainability component 2- Kits containing all the different items needed to conduct the hands-on activities were assembled and reused at different K-12 schools’ visits. Once the kits were notin use, the CPP CoE Office of Outreach took custody of them and made them available to otherCoE outreach programs, individual students clubs or faculty members that wanted to getinvolved with K-12 outreach. This is the legacy of the EGR 299 S students.Sustainability component 3- Building relationships with committed and nearby K-12 communitypartners facilitated the multiple visits of CPP engineering students during

have collaborated to achieve research uniformity across both the environments; we are coordinating better in this 3rd year).Research Design:The main goal of this study is to understand how interdisciplinary instruction affects students’ability to identify, formulate, and solve problems, function on multidisciplinary teams, engagewith contemporary issues, communicate effectively in writing, verbally and visually, developappreciation of the impact of planning and engineering solutions in a variety of societal contexts,and develop understanding of their professional and ethical responsibilities. Soft skills, such ascommunication, team spirit, leadership, sociability, time management, documentation,presentation, ethics, negotiation, etc., are
