When introduced in a differential equations course, the Laplace Transform is usuallyregarded as a tool for solving linear, constant-coefficient differential equations. Since there areeasier ways to solve this class of equations, students are often left wondering why anyone woulduse the transform method. When the Laplace Transform is approached from the engineeringpoint of view, however, its utility is more apparent.The authors of this paper (a mathematician and two engineers) are collaborating on a programwhose goal is to develop interdisciplinary, multisemester projects designed to improve students’learning of basic STEM
