modify their ownstereotypes of community college students is to invite them to review the students’ transcriptsand application packets, on which our staff has already noted the completed math and sciencecourses. Often, the students have taken courses that provide an exposure to the discipline,providing more background than the mentors expected. Even in cases where math and sciencebackground was lacking, the mentors were able to review their transcripts and gain knowledge ofwork ethics, problem-solving abilities, and intellectual curiosity from the courses taken, GPA’s,and grades. Some mentors, although not impressed particularly with the transcripts, wanted toprovide the students an opportunity they may not otherwise be given to grow and
specific aspect, the division was made on 0-4 and5-8 years. As the focus of the study was on transdisciplinary engineering design, it was decided that ineach group, representation from different disciplines be ensured to allow for a transdisciplinarydiscussion. Therefore, one representative from each of the engineering disciplines from eachgraduation group was randomly selected and invited to the interview. Table 1 shows that thenumber of focus group participants, their disciplines and graduation year range. The dates for thefocus group interviews were selected through the group vote with alumni in May 2018. Once thedates were set, participants were emailed the arrival instructions. Due to the ethics protocol andconfidentiality agreement, no

Initial Full-Scale Prototype of Dance Vehicle (Fall 2011)The capstone team consisted of five mechanical engineering students who partnered with fourarchitecture students and six dancers on the project, creating a very large multidisciplinary team.This created considerable barriers: class schedules, learning styles, formalities between studentand “teacher” in various departments, shared vocabularies with very different meanings andimplications, and different work ethics and expectations. The end result was that there wheremany times during the project where the engineering students had to work outside their comfortzone. They spent a considerable amount of time working in

He also places thisunderstanding in the context of ABET criterion (b), “an ability to design and conductexperiments, analyze and interpret data” [6, p. 2], in that such ability is part of the scientificmethod, which has its foundations in the philosophy of science, and which together alsoconstitute one of the primary components of the course design for IDM and SMR.Splitt [7] interprets the demand on engineers as the “solution of problems involving humanvalues, attitudes, and behavior, as well as the interrelationships and dynamics of social, political,environmental, and economic systems on a global basis” [7, p. 182], restated in the conclusion interms of “problems involving … world cultures, religions, ethics, and economics” and
