effectively in interdisciplinary teamsWith these in mind, we actively seek collaborations with other schools on campus and outsideentities. Since there is strong interest among engineering students to learn about business andentrepreneurship, we wanted to develop a program for engineering students to gain fluency inbusiness concepts, especially product development, as well as the ability to effectively partnerwith business students. Product development in today’s environment must account for manyfactors other than technology, such as product placement and branding12. While students arerequired to take an “Engineering Economy” course that provides fundamental business andfinance concepts, we found that it did not provide an authentic experience of the

This approach echoesthe “pour it in” model referred to by Smith were he states: Consider the most common model of the classroom-based teaching and learning process used in engineering education in the past fifty years (and maybe currently?). This model ... is a presentational model where, as one pundit quipped, “the information passes from the notes of the professor to the notes of the students without passing through the mind of either one.”1Using this model of education, students are simply expected to “know” how to use this “poured Page 14.269.2in” material to synthesize

unless other criteria are not met. A primarypurpose of ABET is to ensure engineers are receiving the skills and competencies needed to besuccessful engineers. With this purpose in mind, engaging ABET representatives in discussionsaround multidisciplinary capstones and how they may fit within ABET criteria may be useful –both for the university as well as for the ABET organization.Therefore, industry-university collaboration may be needed to develop an effective andsustainable multidisciplinary capstone. This collaboration could be facilitated by havingprofessionals from academic and industry work together to best understand and articulate what isneeded from the senior capstone course in terms of multidisciplinary content and skills, and thebest

While the current connected capstone course was designed with the fourinvolved departments in mind, a future goal is to provide the opportunity for collaborationbetween or among any number of disciplines.

With these goals in mind, the College ofEngineering at San José State University has developed a minor in green engineering.7 Theminor was established in Fall 2008 and is open to all engineering majors. It includes four classesbeyond the requirements of the engineering major. Two of the classes are required: Engr 102:Renewable Energy Engineering and Engr 103: Life Cycle Engineering.

you choose to do?My interest in interdisciplinarity stems from my experiences as an undergraduate engineeringstudent. My senior capstone project involved working on an interdisc iplinary design projectfocused on designing and developing a vertical takeoff and lift system (VTOL). The problem wasdefined in the context of a 2040 urban rescue. There were four different disciplines involved—industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering,and aerospace engineering. Tensions arose throughout the project among the mechanical andaerospace engineers, including instances where I was left unsure of how I fit besides sharing myknowledge about anthropometric dimensions when designing with ergonomics in mind

involved being able to iterate on a design—starting small, failing, and thenadjusting prototype ideas. The students recalled another engineering faculty member’s visit toclass and her suggestion to prototype using low cost materials (“get a cardboard box and putsome remote cars in there and see if people use it”) rather than giving the students a big budgetto start. They came back to this idea a few times; they want to fail and try again, but they alsowant a variety of projects.How do you describe the engineering design process?As faculty, we were mindful that the course was about engineering design and not tinkering or“making.” Although the students’ desire to “make” helped them engage in the course and the

This type of change in both the CE andArchitecture student group compared to CET students’ perceptions shows a convergence inthoughts between the two disciplines after working for 3 months collaboratively. Anotherinteresting change was how after 50% of the CET students thought that both Civil Engineers andArchitects worked for them, all changed their perceptions that they didn’t (drop from 50% to 0%).This was the same change observed for the Architecture students who thought the same aboutconstruction engineers, and all changed their mind (50% to 0%).

The overarchingmission of the EFRI-REM Mentoring Catalyst is to catalyze a core programmatic change thatpositively impacts the mentors and the student/teacher mentees in view of the importance of facultymentoring.
