As a final goal for thiscase study, students collaborate on a group case report to reason through the ethicality of deeperand riskier oil drilling within the Gulf of Mexico. In writing their group case report, students mayjustify their responses by referring to issues not directly

In addition, they write about their progress and challenges in a blog or on-lineworksheet.) A key aspect of this program is to engage parents substantively. Working with the schools,LSA prepares events which guide parents to understand education and career paths for theirchildren in STEM and STEM-related professions. LSA does this with the hope that in additionto being better able to advocate for their children, parents (many of whom are young themselvesand un- or under-employed) will see STEM in their own education or career path.

As of 2005, roughly 35% of undergraduatecapstone design projects were conducted in multidisciplinary teams of students (an increase from21% in 1994).6 Evidence has shown, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that students benefitgreatly from working in multidisciplinary settings. Survey results show that engineeringprofessionals associate interdisciplinary thinking with creativity in their peers and ratemultidisciplinary work as very important in preparation for industry.7 Similarly, students whoparticipated in a multidisciplinary capstone course identified functioning in a

thus they will default to a role that is more familiar or is perceived to be less challenging. Another reason that a student may take on a certain role is that that the student may become pigeon-holed into a certain role: if a student volunteers to write the first progress memo, for example, the other team members may expect that student will complete subsequent writing assignments, thus not leaving enough time for the student to take on other tasks. Or, another example is that there could be a student who previously had a lot of experience on a robotics team, and thus is expected by their teammates to do the wiring or coding work for the course project. This keeps that student from experiencing
