for each student.In 2015-2016, the first experiment with multidisciplinary senior design was predicated on thesupposition that students would benefit from being enrolled in the senior design coursesequences appropriate to their majors. Therefore, the students participating in multidisciplinaryprojects did not enroll in a dedicated class but instead enrolled in the traditional sequences ofcourses (as shown in Table 1). The 2015-2016 cohort integrated students from multiple majorson an extra-curricular basis; students took on an additional design experience that supplementedtheir required course or worked with students enrolled in other classes. This effort met with asignificant lack of success and became a source of frustration for students

Previousresearchers of the pedagogical aspects of teamwork have discussed the challenges engineeringeducators have in motivating students to interact effectively on team-based projects. They statethat little in the professors’ backgrounds or experiences provide a basis for knowing howstudents might show an ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.4 Manyresearchers have offered advice regarding this problem. It has been proposed that that teamteaching one integrated course results in the best opportunity for interdisciplinary interactions5.In the course used to evaluate the assessment instrument described in this paper, the professorsdemonstrated

The first two courses (ENGR 2431: DC Circuits and ENGR 2531: AC Circuits)primarily cover topics that non-majors are required to know for the FE exam. The final 6-weekcourse (ENGR 3431: Electromechanical Systems) includes advanced topics not typically taughtin an introductory circuits course, such as LabView programming, digital logic, computercommunications, sensors, and motors. To provide a more practical and hands-on approach to thestructure of ENGR 3431 a robotics project was implemented in the Spring 2011 semester. Thispaper focuses primarily on
