Engineeringdesign can then be a vehicle for learning engineering design and scientific content, emphasizinginterdisciplinary, real-world applications and contexts of science (Douglas, Iversen, &Kalyandurg, 2004). But only 9% high school science teachers feel comfortable teachingengineering (Banilower et al., 2013) so combining engineering with the traditional and reformcontent demands in the NGSS may be difficult for high school science teachers.The NGSS isn’t instructive of curriculum or pedagogy; it doesn’t provide daily objectives, lessonplans, or concrete

A study has shown that students can be engaged learners through the usesimulations if the simulations are designed with learning as the primary goal and if they are easyto navigate and use26. We sought to build on these principles and best practices of previoussimulation tools by designing a simulation that allows the users to manipulate intuitive variablesand observe the dynamic impacts of pharmaceuticals on the human body. The learning objectiveof the module is to introduce open-ended engineering design and problem solving through apharmaceutical application of chemical engineering.

Student H (Graduate Student) The importance of multidisciplinary project cannot be over emphasized especially in thisfast-paced innovation age we find ourselves. The development rate and the diverse nature of theproblems and challenges the world is faced with today requires the coming together ofprofessionals from different disciplines. This presents a wealth of diverse knowledge andexpertise from which broader perspectives, in-depth research analysis, and an innovative andcutting edge designs are made.

The freshman course at Tulane, for example,included engineering faculty lunches, research lab activities, and a visit to a local amusementpark11. Because students in many universities apply to engineering programs, but do not choosetheir actual majors until the second year, many of the freshman experiences are highlyinterdisciplinary and introduce students to a variety of engineering disciplines. In some cases, theactivities were rotated among the different engineering departments121. One freshman experiencewas designed as a hybrid course in a flipped classroom13.The ARCE
