. Page 22.207.2  Observed coursesThe first course we observed was Introduction to Engineering Design (EI-100), which is a first-semester 3 credit required course for almost every engineering program of UDLAP since springof 2001. UDLAP’s Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Food, Industrial,Mechanical, and Mechatronic engineering students have in EI-100 a great opportunity for amultidisciplinary collaborative experience. EI-100 is a team-taught course that uses active,collaborative and cooperative learning. Course content and classroom activities are divided intothree, two-hour sections (Modeling, Concepts, and Laboratory) per week. Students have sixdifferent EI-100 facilitators (an instructor and teaching assistant for each

Additionally, students reported that they felt the program improved their computationaland laboratory research skills as well as provide them with a better understanding of the researchprocess. They believed the program helped them to clarify their goals regarding their majors andfuture career choices; the program also demonstrated to students the importance of networkingwith other colleagues in their field

benefit from usingsystems biology approaches to complex problems. Consequently, multiple science departmentsat NCA&T have recently have acquired significant cutting-edge laboratory resources. Newsynergistic research partnerships are emerging across traditional departmental infrastructures.Because the science department’s past work has actively promoted, presented, and publishedgenuine undergraduate cross discipline-related research, the departments have gained significantfavor across the university1. We have strong administrative leadership support for rigorousundergraduate research activities. We gained buy-in from stakeholders by: (1) working from theground-up with administration to promote campus-wide bioengineering research and training
