"Broadening Participation ResearchProject: Charting a Path to Trans-disciplinary Collaborative Design" which was a three-yearprogram to evaluate, test, and model pedagogic methods in an existing interdisciplinary (OldDominion University engineer and engineering technology and Hampton architect) hybrid set ofcourses studying adaptation to sea level rise for urban neighborhoods in Norfolk, Virginia.The current curriculum emphasizes both classroom instruction and hands-on experience in aworking design studio. Students in engineering, architecture, and science programs were studiedto determine what pedagogical tools, curricular support, and teaching tactics are most effective inencouraging trans
-Compete can be integrated either as part of a design course taught ina single semester or as a two-semester capstone course or used by a team advisor for designprojects conducted as an extracurricular activity. With the two options for implementing E-Compete, course instructors and team advisors can decide which option best serves theirparticular teaching/advising styles.The Baja SAE is a collegiate competition especially for engineering and engineering technologystudents. It requires students to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive a range ofconditions that include rough terrain and (possibly) mud and water. Participating in thecompetition offers teams of students opportunities to explore real work situations as they
