We were excited for the opportunity to invite ourcolleagues to join us in the project of interdisciplinary engineering education, informed byScience and Technology Studies (or STS). This project was an opportunity to stage playfulworkshops and facilitate conversations we did not often get to have, all designed to stimulateinterdisciplinary reflections on what we do and why we do it. We were informed by theories of“trading zones” from STS and theories of the classroom drawn from

This course waschosen because it is required for most engineering majors at Anderson University. Peermentorship training and expectations were provided as part of the Control Systems course.Individual peer mentors were assigned to first-year engineering project groups completing aproject in their Intro to Engineering course. This course has no TA support, making it a goodchoice for leveraging student peer mentors. The groups each consisted of four students whowere tasked with designing, constructing, and documenting mini-golf holes for a campus event[2,16].

Some students will be able to perform the analysisand manipulate the equations describing the geometry concepts by applying general algorithmicsolutions without the ability to visualize them. They are struggling to understand how geometricequations are represented within a physical space and this becomes even more difficult when westart to consider them in 3D. More advanced operations such as projections, dot and crossproducts may also be quite difficult to visualize, plot and predict. This ability to model complexsystems using an FBD (Free Body Diagram) and system of equations is the enabling skillset forsuccessful mastery of fundamental mechanics courses.

We found that students submitting much later past the deadline (more than a coupleof days) struggle more than those who submit assignments within a reasonable period (within afew days) after the first deadline. The students themselves reported some struggles with timemanagement on some assignments because the flexible deadlines allowed them to fall too farbehind with no external penalty. However, the students also greatly appreciate a few extra daysleniency, especially on larger assignments like projects and assessments.In general, it appears that a good compromise between timely

Many AE graduates areconfronted with these fragmentation problems in real-world construction projects, such as poorcommunication and lack of cooperative consciousness or experience [2]. Compounding this, the problemof fragmentation also exists in the education field that leads to certain consequences and a cyclic educationdeficit problem. Studies from researchers illustrate that most engineering students were taught technicalknowledge via isolated and, thus domain-specific courses with limited to no teaching of integratedapproaches. This limited educational focus causes a lack of knowledge and experience in collaboration forstudents entering the workforce [3]. Moreover, the education model of the AEC

However, many curricula still need to implement programs or courses for students toactively engage with global engineering and discover how cultures, settings, and ideologies canimpact engineering and design. There have been attempts to incorporate these concepts intohumanitarian engineering activities to help students consider marginalized groups and encourageempathy [4,5]. While these programs allow students to think about others, there is still a gap thatneeds to be filled for students to gain a global perspective on engineering design, especially inlow-resource settings.

This topic is especially important because many engineers work on design teams, and themembers of a team need to work together to carry out the design process. An ad hoc approach toplanning the design process will create confusion and increase the risks of project failure (e.g.,poor product or system performance as well as cost and schedule overruns). Despite the growing need for design process planning skills, existing engineering educationprograms fail to provide opportunities for engineering students to learn these meta-reasoning skills.Many engineering students learn only standard product and systems development processes [2, 3].In a typical engineering design course, the students follow
