These factors may affect what a studentdoes with their time in a course and consequently can affect their engineering self-efficacy andconfidence.BackgroundHands-on project design-based courses are integrated into engineering curriculum in order togive students an opportunity to apply the knowledge they have learned in a setting that mimics aprofessional engineering workplace. The project-based design course structure also emphasizescommunication, project management, and teamwork, all of which are important skills forengineers to have for successful careers

Promote Multidisciplinary Skills in a Freshman Engineering ProgramIntroduction This paper addresses the lack of student interest in topics outside of their discipline; thisis even true for some students in all courses regardless of topic. However, all topics, especiallyfundamental ones are important in an engineering education because engineers are facingincreasingly complex challenges and opportunities; consequently, collaboration betweenengineers of multiple disciplines becomes very important. ABET goes as far as to list “an abilityto function on multidisciplinary teams” as a required student outcome for an undergraduateengineering program to be accredited.
