engineering programs have been required to document assessment ofoutcome items a-k as defined by ABET.1 Some of these outcome items can be classified as‘hard’ skills, such as (c) [an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desiredneeds within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical,health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability]. The evaluation and assessment of‘hard’ skills is generally considered to be significantly easier than that of ‘soft’ skills andabilities, such as (h) [The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineeringsolutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context]. Without good assessmentmethods, determining if improvements have

capacity of engineersto integrate technical expertise, socio-cultural analysis and professional ethics in analyzing andsolving real-world engineering problems was investigated5.Another interdisciplinary pedagogy relating to engineering and business is a study involvingindustrial and biomedical engineering students working as a team with marketing students4. Thestudents were assigned to develop a new medical device including the phases of design,production, and marketing of the new product. The authors reported that the interdisciplinaryenvironment greatly facilitated student learning, as well as enhanced mutual accountability andmutual respect.Course SyllabusThe central points discussed in classroom were: 1.
