is an effectiveapproach to address industry needs and the requirements of ABET Criterion 3d (“… an ability tofunction on multi-disciplinary teams.”) Additionally, interdisciplinary senior design allows a richset of project deliverables and thus enhances possibilities for funded or mission-driven projectssuch as overseas infrastructure relief. The breadth of deliverables made possible byinterdisciplinary senior design also facilitates institutional goals regarding faculty developmentand scholarship by enhancing undergraduate research possibilities. However, numerous obstaclesto interdisciplinary design can prevent an effective implementation and the associated benefits.In this paper we outline a set of tactics for implementing an effective

Education, 2007 An Integrated Interdisciplinary Technology Project in Undergraduate Engineering EducationAbstractThe ever changing engineering curriculum mandates an emphasis on interdisciplinary projects.Through interdisciplinary projects, students will be exposed to a curriculum that allows them towork in teams of multi-disciplinary members with focus geared towards integrated technologies.This effort requires collaboration of students and faculty from multiple disciplines, and providesstudents an opportunity to learn from several other engineering systems. In addition, theseprojects will also help students to learn and deal with the societal aspects of engineering.The main focus of the paper is the

course emphasizes how students with differentvalues can work together productively. Team members must learn to respect the differing values Page 12.1383.4among their members. For example, students who perform at different academic levels and withdifferent degrees of personal motivation have to be able to work effectively together to completetheir design projects successfully. Likewise, the course does not attempt to enforce politicallycorrect attitudes; however, students must understand how expressions of sexist or racialinsensitivity or bias may affect their professional future. The students also are asked to evaluatewhat these issues mean in

Comparisons can be made between integrated and non-integratedteams.IntroductionA lot of progress has been made in recent years in improving engineering education, e.g.,emphasizing communication skills, working in teams, integration of computer-aided engineering(CAE), and capstone/senior design projects. Previous work by the authors has focused onimproving the integration of CAE1,2,3,4 into mechanical engineering programs. The goal of thispaper is to document efforts to improve the experiences of students working in project designteams. The strategy is to create integrated project teams from machine design, product design,and manufacturing courses to design and build a wide variety of

Classrooms are defined notas lecture halls but as engineering studios. Courses are delivered not as lengthy exercises intheory but as integrated opportunities to apply knowledge in real-world projects. The expectedoutcome of the program is an agile engineer, a lifelong learner with a comprehensive set of skillsappropriate to the needs of today and tomorrow.

Multidisciplinary Team AssessmentAbstractDuring a semester long course entailing a multidisciplinary team project, students in computerengineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering were required to work togetherto design, build, and test a solar car. It is the hypothesis of the faculty that students who havemore multidisciplinary interaction in the design and implementation of the project will produce abetter project. To evaluate this hypothesis, the authors have designed a new assessmentinstrument to effectively assess the level of multidisciplinary teamwork and the students’ abilityto function on a multidisciplinary team. While there are some existing instruments available, fewhave documented reliability and validity1. For this reason

Engaged learning isaccomplished by having the main spine of the program be 8 semesters of project workconducted inside an engineering studio.

The key element was to provide the material as a set ofinterwoven topics. For example, in any given week a Mechanical Engineering student may dosome machining (remedial and tutorial in nature), but also build a motor speed controller using amicrocontroller using interrupts for timing (advanced).
