. Page 12.1460.2General ManagementAs graduates, engineering students are typically hired into a starting, junior engineering positionwithin a company. Career progression from that point often proceeds along one of two paths.The engineer can remain in a technical position and be promoted into more senior technicalpositions. The most senior position in companies may be as a technical fellow or Vice Presidentof Engineering or Technology. The second path would be to move into a general managementposition. As a general manager, the individual would be responsible for multidisciplinaryoperations along functional areas such as engineering, marketing, sales, finance, manufacturing,purchasing, legal and other corporate disciplines.

Teachers engaging in interdisciplinary curriculum are often freed from isolation, allowed toactively take on multiple roles in teaching,10 and supported in reconstructing their roles andviews on their profession.6 On the other hand, some kind of mechanism—either institutionalor social—also needs to be in place in order to foster interdisciplinary cooperation amongteachers in the long run.8 In December 2013, three university teachers from civil engineering (CE), building andplanning (B&P), and futures studies (FS) embarked on a 3-year

For instance, during a design conversation that occurred one week afterthe product box exercise, ID and MKT students asked ECE students in the team howcloud computing worked. The ECE student explained how data could be stored in serversand accessed over the Internet.
