It is not expected that a freshman – or even theaverage senior – will score at the “Accomplished” level. Rather, instructors must decidewhat level of performance is reasonable for students in their class, and assign gradesaccordingly: freshmen may be expected to perform somewhere between the “Beginning”and “Developing” level, for example, with seniors expected to perform consistently at the“Competent” level.

reveals that there isconsiderable debate about what “counts” as interdisciplinary teaching and research. Decisionsabout which theories and definitions to adopt have implications for how scholars defineinterdisciplinarity, what educators believe constitutes interdisciplinary education, and for whatresearchers choose to include and exclude in studies of the development of students’interdisciplinary competence. In this paper we present data excerpts from six detailed casestudies that reveal the many, varied, and often conflicting, definitions of interdisciplinarity usedby engineering administrators and faculty members in discussions of undergraduate educationalactivities intended to develop students’ interdisciplinary competence. These definitions
