Smart Environments for assisted living: a multidisciplinary collaboration in engineering and architecture educationAbstractThis paper presents a description of a collaborative project-based on the integration oftechnology development in the built environment for assisted living. The multidisciplinarycollaboration is developed as a cooperative commitment to provide support for cross-border,collective projects. It was initiated as a project based learning setting between undergraduateengineering students, and four years later the program shifted to include undergraduatearchitecture students and engineering master’s students. The learning experience opens the gateto a completely new collaborative setting, yet to be established

instead exhibited non-cooperative behavior.The author asserted that these individuals thought that collaborative behavior indicatedweakness. As these convictions revealed themselves on projects, expectations were diminished,and distrust then ensued. Consequently, this distrust among project participants eventually led topoor communication, unfruitful conflict, and reduced performance. Many members of theconstruction industry understand this dilemma and attribute the problem to an unwillingness onthe part of the project participants to behave in a collaborative manner and this gives a startingpoint for research regarding how to promote more collaborative attitudes among constructionparticipants within the construction industry.25BackgroundIn 1607
