Thus, there is both a need and opportunity to implement effectiveinterprofessional education across diverse professional disciplines.This research project is designed to assess the effectiveness of integrating nursing studentswithin teams of engineers in a BioE capstone senior design course.

Thisdesign activity is introduced and conducted within one class period, what might we learn ifstudents are able to engage in this kind of activity over time within the context of an ongoingdesign project? The activity asks students to ground what they learned in past experiences“Reflect on how you have done design in the past”. However, comparing the timelinerepresentations to past experiences requires students to have been very aware of design activitiesand time. One of the affordances of the timeline representations of design process is that theydraw attention to how time is spent in a way that is not well articulated in the prescriptive node-sand-arc representations of design.

The development ofprofessional identity has been studied in context of various professions such as medicine [8], healthcare [9], pharmacy [10], and higher education [11], [12].

Ethics is too-often relegated to a stand-alone course taken late in engineeringprograms, rather than effectively integrated into core coursework [1, 2]. Faculty sometimes haveconcerns that such integration will be challenging for students to manage or might distract themfrom core content. However, ethics-across-the-curriculum helps students understand the linkbetween the engineering work and its positive and negative impacts and also see ethicalconsiderations as part of engineering, rather than an add-on [2, 3].
