is that “the population of individuals whoare involved with or affected by technology…will be increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary.”This highlights one of the biggest pushes in recent years, which is for engineers who are able tofunction effectively on multidisciplinary teams.Often in engineering, when the term multidisciplinary is used, it refers to different branches ofengineering. A multidisciplinary team might have electrical, mechanical and industrial engineerson it. However, when students become practicing engineers, they will no longer be workingsolely with other engineers. Quite often, they will need to work with peers without a technicalbackground. For instance, their coworkers may have a business or management degree

for a new typeof science and technology program that provides a broad scientific and technical education,engages students with real-world problems, and seriously addresses societal influences andimpacts. The department cuts across typical disciplinary boundaries, focusing more on practicalproblem solving than on theoretical knowledge. The curriculum emphasizes learning-by-doing,and includes several hands-on laboratory courses and a 3-semester senior capstone project.Upper-level instruction in the department is organized around strategic industry sectors, withstudents choosing to concentrate their studies in biosystems, engineering and manufacturing,information and knowledge management, telecommunications, energy, or environment.In 1997, the

and continues in the senior imaging and graphics courses.In the new age of IPods, PlayStations, and Xboxes, it is hard to ignore the affinity young studentshave for 3-D action-based and visually intense games; so rather than villainizing games andostracizing their use, we aim instead at using that inherent fondness of the games to the students’advantage by relating key computer, engineering, and mathematical concepts to the fundamentalway games operate. By adhering to the guidelines and recommendations set forth by the ACMEand the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Technology Criteria 2000for the Computer Science and Engineering programs, the CS/CIS department at our universityhas continually modified and enhanced
