In the first course, student teams learn about the formal engineering design processand project management then develop a detailed proposal for a project to be implemented in thefollowing semester. Over the years, students from both electrical engineering and electricalengineering technology have worked in teams to complete their capstone projects. Whileelectrical engineering students may have a strong theoretical background, electrical engineeringtechnology students have strong hands-on experience, an important skill for building andtroubleshooting electronic systems. This paper provides details about our approach incoordinating the activities in the two-course capstone design

This interconnected environment nurtures mutual respect, innate curiosity, and aspirit of creativity [2]. The VIP model presents a holistic learning journey that holds immensepotential for students' academic and professional trajectories [2]. Our journey began by recognizing a gap between first-year project-based learning (PBL)engineering courses and the Interdisciplinary Capstone (IDC) for senior engineering students.We created IDPro to fill this gap, enabling students to engage in long-term, interdisciplinaryprojects involving community stakeholders

This project, serving as the capstone of an Introduction to Engineering course, was20 designed to instill EM in a diverse group of engineering students, equipping them to tackle21 multidisciplinary challenges innovatively. Historically, EM has been a staple in business education22 but has only recently begun to permeate engineering curricula globally over the past few decades23 (3). The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), established in 2005, has been pivotal24 in promoting EM within undergraduate engineering programs across the

Encourage internships.Internships are a great way to prepare students for careers on multi-disciplinary teams. Onebenefit is to allow students to learn if they like and think they can thrive in that environment. Thesecond is to already start acquiring the necessary skills to succeed in these positions early on.Internships which have a component around rotation across teams, also allow students to gainwider appreciation of how different positions interact, before having to dive deep into one role.On completion of junior-year internships, students can then bring back acquired skills to theirfinal year classes, capstone projects, and
