Outreach Center (ROC): Mechanisms for Interdisciplinary CollaborationThe Research and Outreach Center (ROC) was established in 2010 by the SEMS Dean toconnect SEMS faculty and students with the region, the nation and the globe, demonstratediversity and interdisciplinary interests of all three departments with the school. ROC creates astimulating environment for faculty and staff to achieve their career goals and professionaldevelopment. Professional development of the faculty is achieved through researchconversations meetings (described more fully in the next section), summer research experiences,professional society training activities and technical/scientific conferences. From an institutionalstrategic point of view, the establishment of SEMS

and adapted by other instructors, and integrated intotheir own courses and/or GCSP, to reach an even broader audience.The on-ground version of this course uses a lot of active learning techniques and is discussion-based, incorporating activities such as mind mapping, debates, role-play-based simulation,design challenges, and case studies, to help students explore and understand the interdisciplinarynature of the complex global challenges. Additional detail on the on-ground version of the coursecan be found in [2]. This high level of in-person, active learning posed the biggest challenge totranslate to the MOOC. Therefore, in addition to reaping the benefit of modularization forportability, there was also a strong focus and intent on making

Later in the day, they presented their projects and learning accomplishments to agroup of local high school students interested in pursuing STEM majors.Let Them Go: Project Development StageThe mentors opted to follow a format loosely based on current industrial practice: thedevelopment team members would report to an alternating team lead who in turn provides theproject manager and client a synopsis of their team status. As the internship deliverable wouldcontinue on to support doctoral research at the university, a graduate student involved with theproject assumed the role of client, while the other mentor worked as project manager and kepttrack of progress, timelines and the next wave of tasks.

, employees must haveknowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) that empower them to communicate and coordinate withtheir colleagues2. The ability to act as an effective team member and leader is critical forengineering graduates entering industry, business or other career paths. Accordingly, theCanadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has designated teamwork as one of thetwelve attributes engineering students must possess upon graduation3. Similarly, ABET hasincluded the “ability to function on multi-disciplinary skills” in its set of professional skills4.In our experience as engineering educators, based on observations as well as employer andstudent exit surveys, the traditional academic setting cannot give sufficient experiences forreasonable

challenges in multiagent decision controls, human factors, computer security, and power systems will be assessed. Projects range from notional resilience improvement to integration of distributed electric grid simulation to hardware in the loop. One anticipated engagement assessment method was the percentage of students that continue projects beyond the one semester course is reported. Student projects were measured based on completeness of understanding of resilient control systems topics as applied to critical infrastructure. We will also discuss findings from an integrative grid game course project between the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Criminal Justice departments at Temple University. Specifically, we will share lessons learned

programs will be covered.IntroductionMost degree programs that teach building engineering have design opportunities are often less thanideally constructed to reflect practical careers due to relatively few faculty members being trained, or theyhave no similar industry experience necessary to guide students [1]. Consequently in these settings, only asurface level understanding of their value is realized [2]. Many engineering students do not know how toapproach large complex systems due to their exposure to idealistic examples [3]. Additionally, they notcapable of providing critical multi-disciplinary integration of their designs due to the isolated nature oftopics in the classroom [4] [5].

careers. For graduate students and postdoctoral associates who are alsolearning to be effective researchers and professionals, the importance of proper mentoring is vitalto their success and long-term career choices.Studies of the impact of mentorship have shown that students who receive strong mentoring duringresearch experiences have enhanced self-efficacy toward their research experiences [3-7]; greaterpersistence while engaged in research [8-10], increased research productivity [11-12], overallhigher career satisfaction [13-14], and enhanced recruitment of underrepresented students [15].However, as noted above, faculty members are often not well prepared to provide effectivementoring. Often first year faculty are mentoring for the first time

We organized a panel-based information session addressingtopics surrounding the graduate school application process for the broader MIT undergraduatecommunity. Attendance of thread students was much lower than we had anticipated; the main reasonturned out to be conflicts with the classes they were taking. Going forward, we will

Those faculty comefrom multiple engineering disciplines and programs as diverse as music, political science,medicine, physics, sociology, engineering, classics, and information sciences. At the same time,the Working Group’s student representative began to recruit volunteers to create a GlobalSTEAM blog on the Working Group’s website and rapidly assembled a half dozenundergraduate and graduate students from across the campus to act as advisors and curators to arunning blog feature.A third initiative emerging from the roundtable was the establishment of a graduate

His re- search emphasis on industry-based issues, solved within an academic context, has attracted significant external funding. Up until now, he has graduated 31 PhD students and 11 of them hold academic posi- tions in leading Universities in the world. He along with his students have received numerous best paper awards from the IEEE Industry Applications and Power Electronics Society. His primary research inter- ests are in advancing power electronic converter designs to address complex power management issues such as: active harmonic filtering, adjustable speed

The intent was to engage over 100 undergraduateengineering students each year in a serious pursuit of ways in which progress can bemade on these challenges.Each semester, the program begins with engineering faculty members. A solicitationis sent to all engineering faculty members inviting proposals to support teams ofstudents. The incentive is that the College provides support for up to one graduatestudent who will work with an undergraduate student team, usually ten or moreundergraduate students. The graduate student will help the team with their technicalknowledge and often greater experience about the subject matter. Combiningundergraduate students, and graduate student, and

proposed solutions [20].Research ContextThe U.S. Department of Energy Race to Zero Student Design Competition is an annualcompetition that challenges students to create zero energy buildings (ZEB). In the 2018 Race toZero, teams could choose between two different types of ZEB: residential (single or multi-unit)or institutional (elementary school) buildings. The 2018 RTZ Purdue team comprised sevenstudent team members, one student team leader (STL), two faculty advisors and one facultyleader. Six student team members were selected jointly by the faculty leader and STL. Theseventh member (landscape architect) was chosen after the development of the project hadalready been initiated. The team also counted on the collaboration of industry advisors
