Considering these indications that the program was a success, this study’s research objectives aremeant to draw from that collective experience and provide insight for engineering educators designing similar skill-sharing events between engineers and students and professionals from other disciplines, especially those stemmingfrom a specific need to take a multi-sectoral approach. With that in mind, this study of that program, as well asreflections on this interdisciplinary collaboration and measures of the program’s impacts, was a valuable opportunityto examine our research questions and derive

It is importantto note that cooperative learning is not simply putting students together in a group to worktogether.
