Instrumentation (anElectrical Engineering course) and Software Maintenance and Reengineering from ComputerSciences and Software Engineering department collaborated on five Internet of Things (IoT)projects. The collaboration has revealed both challenges and positive outcomes. This paperdescribes the collaboration, the students’ feedback and lessons learned. 1. IntroductionEngineering projects have become complex in the 20th century and require multiple teams fromdifferent disciplines to work collaboratively to solve problems. Collaboration betweenmultidisciplinary teams has become a standard in industries; however, educational curricula havebeen slow to adapt. Although most engineering programs have a capstone design course as a partof their curricula

,students are taught modern making skills to enable them to create proof-of-concept prototypes oftheir engineering designs. Historically, mechanical engineering students across the US, as wellas many globally, develop functional prototypes for their senior capstone project. At CarnegieMellon University, students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering conduct prototypingin at least one core course each year of their undergraduate career.The safe and correct use of rapid fabrication equipment is taught individually through hands-ontraining in class and directed practice outside of class. Students were surveyed before and aftercompletion of the course to self-assess their ability to apply modern making skills in the areas ofCAD software, 3D

innovationprojects. Sally had over 30 encounters with faculty and other students, and upon reflection wasconvinced that she could talk about her project with her eyes closed.The following semester, not only was she able to present her solar panel on Industry Day, but herclear explanation and enthusiasm led a company representative to contact her faculty member todiscuss sponsoring her capstone project. Sally was also made leader of the school-based servicelearning project in which she had to contact teachers to set-up attendance days, email teammembers to ensure they could attend, and act as the spokesperson and reporter for her group(experiential leadership). The teachers all knew Sally from her great work and positive outcomesand were eager to work with
