, multidisciplinaryprojects can be challenging for many reasons. Design education is often relegated to the end ofan undergraduate program, which does not allow students to learn from their mistakes becausethey are given tight deadlines and linear deliverables. In response, Fazelpour et al. argue for aholistic approach to design education throughout an undergraduate curriculum [6]. Students withdesign experiences throughout their undergraduate program will learn to work in teams earlier,better preparing them for peer collaboration and meaningful engagement with industry sponsors.That said, those who have implemented multidisciplinary capstone programs warn of potentialissues. Behdinan et al. note the potential for exacerbation of student performance issues such as

to meet the demands of growing enrollment. This was viewed as anundesirable situation for a major research university; therefore, it was deemed necessary toreduce the large number of graduate assistants and non-tenured instructors. Of course, thisrequired major restructuring of the English Department, which phased out the technical writingcourses being offered. Since engineering relied upon these courses for all of its disciplines, thisforced a re-thinking of how students would receive this type of skill.The loss of technical writing was not met with a sense of loss of historic proportions becausethere had been many engineering faculty members who had already questioned the value of thisresource.

The generalconclusion of this body of literature is correlational, that is, the greater the students’ engagementin curricular and co-curricular activities on campus, the greater their level of cognitive andpsychosocial development.

Some of these refinements have been reported in an ITiCSE panel [53]and research paper [54], as well as in a SIGCSE special session [55] and poster [56].One significant observation from the pilot study was that students rated every disposition as maxi-mally important for their career and course, except for adaptable and collaborative. This is likelybecause questions on dispositions elicited idealized responses from students. To avoid such re-sponses, the rating questions on the pre- and post-survey were changed to refer to behaviors insteadof dispositions. Students rated their application of dispositions in course assignments statisticallysignificantly

The most popular was six months in industry followed by six months in collegein each of four successive years [4].A requirement of the NCTA was that all students for their diplomas should have participatedin programs of liberal study. This was reinforced in 1957 by a government edict that extendedthe idea of compulsory liberal studies to all levels of technical education even though muchof it was part time study [5]. By 1962 it was seen that the development of literacy, that is theability to read and write, was essential for the general education of all students.
