. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Promoting Multidisciplinary Industry-Sponsored Capstone ProjectsAbstract:Engineering design problems are intricate in nature and require not only skills that involveinterdisciplinary education but also knowledge across disciplines. To promote and encouragemultidisciplinary projects, the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology at Penn StateHarrisburg has developed a model that facilitates the formation of teams to work on industry-sponsored capstone projects. These projects offer students invaluable educational benefits andhelp in preparing them for their future careers. This paper provides details about our approach toseek industry-sponsored projects and the process we follow to

actions. “Students mostly associated reflection withpositive actions rather than focusing on mistakes and failures” [3]. It is recommended to startreflecting early in the engineering program to better the students’ perceptions of the courses andthemselves, but this can only be the case if faculty are involved. The purpose of this study was tohelp the teachers create reflection activities to help with their students’ learning styles [3].Another study was conducted on three large institutions in the midwest to address how 2-yearstudents in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses perceivethemselves as learners. Each of the 31 students were interviewed to analyze how they reflect ontheir experiences. The purpose of this study
