Multidisciplinary Engineering

Engineering course. She has also co-developed two unique MOOCs, Introduction to Engineering and Perspectives on Grand Challenges for Engineering, for the Global Freshman Academy/ASU Earned Admission Program. Her Ph.D. research focuses on multi-scale multiphase modeling and numerical analysis of coupled large viscoelastic defor- mation and fluid transport in swelling porous materials, but she is currently interested in various topics in the field of engineering education, such as innovative teaching pedagogies for increased retention and student motivation; innovations in non-traditional delivery methods, incorporation of the Entrepreneurial Mindset in the engineering curriculum and its impact.Amy Trowbridge, Arizona State

Multidisciplinary Engineering

interdisciplinary course design has been one of the key interests amongresearchers in the field of engineering education. A cross-disciplinary learning (CDL) frameworknoting that CDL facilitated effective learning which increased motivation and satisfaction ofstudents was presented in [5]. The importance of project-based interdisciplinary learning washighlighted by [6] asserting that entrepreneurial mindsets are significantly enhanced throughtaking interdisciplinary engineering capstone courses.Advancements in various engineering foci require interdisciplinary cooperation, yet studies havefound the lack of communication between engineers and other fields of study is often a limitingfactor in developing effective working teams. Special efforts to design

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill,where he was an Eastman Kodak Fellow, and a B.S. in Chemistry from Duke University. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Breaking Down the Silos: Innovations for Multidisciplinary ProgramsAbstractUniversities, colleges and academic departments acknowledge the need for more collaborative,multidisciplinary, entrepreneurial, and global education. Unfortunately, this is no trivial task.Centuries of tradition have produced institutional silos, reinforced by layers of policy andcultural differences between academic departments, between colleges, and between academicand non-academic units. Successful multidisciplinary programs require programmatic andadministrative
