interactive web basedlectures. The course was first organized in the Fall 2013 as a series of lectures in resilientcontrols, without a central application theme. The course was refined for Fall 2014 to includeinstitutions outside of Idaho and incorporate a focus on the application of electric power micro-grids. Resilient control systems architecture, as shown in , offers additional perspective on topicsof a subset of interdisciplinary topics that impact real world critical infrastructure. The courseaddressed how systems fail due to threats from cyber security, human error and complexinterdependencies, and how the application of resilient control system technologies addressesthese challenges. The broad range of topics in resilient control systems

The course is designed to develop baseline competencies in students thatprepare them to address these four primary objectives.All graduates of the USAFA will commission into the US Air Force and serve a minimum offive years. In this position graduates fundamentally are decision makers. Regardless of major,they will be prioritizing, executing and advocating for a variety of projects. Their ability tounderstand the long term implications of sustainable and resilient infrastructure is critical tomaintaining national defense. Additionally, many graduates

current work and future interests lie at the intersection of chemical and microbial stressors where under- standing trade-offs, benefits and risks deviate from existing risk paradigms and require new data, tools and frameworks. Her future research goals include applications of risk-based decision making to water infrastructure management, and emerging hazards such as antibiotic resistance. She is managing editor and a developer of the QMRAwiki, an interactive, online tool for the QMRA community. Dr. Mitchell has also been involved in developing and teaching training workshops in QMRA for several years. She was recently awarded a nearly $1M grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a new course, models and

Theses sixteen profiles illustrateadaptability of the VIP model across different academic settings.IntroductionWhile ABET Engineering Criteria 3-g calls for, “an ability to function on multidisciplinaryteams [1],” rich multidisciplinary experiences have yet to become the norm. A multidisciplinarydivision has been featured at ASEE Annual Conferences since 2006 [2]. The primary focus overthe last three years has been on specific projects, individual courses, and capstone design courses[2], but no specific model has proven compelling and/or resilient enough for wide-spreadadoption. If institutions of higher education are to offer rich multidisciplinary
