Multidisciplinary Engineering

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. Engineering curriculums are somewhat designed toaddress

twoproblematic ideologies at work in engineering education: an over-reliance on Outcomes-BasedEducation (OBE) and an emphasis on “evidence-based” research and practice, where “evidence”is narrowly defined following the medical model of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nearlyimpossible to execute validly in educational settings. The changes remove or weakenrequirements for educational breadth, including global and social context, engineering ethics, andlifelong learning.One of the stated rationales for these changes is that some outcomes are difficult to assess. To thecontrary, the engineering education community has invested a great deal of time and effortinnovating assessment methods to create increasingly valid, concise, and easy to implement

While the US needsaround one million STEM graduates, it can only meet three hundred thousand of the demand1.Increasing STEM interest to fulfill those jobs is one of the fundamental goals of the K-12stakeholders and researchers. Additionally, STEM interest is almost three times higher for boysthan girls1. Female students’ ratio in STEM fields is around 20% all around the world1. A studyfound that female students think that STEM is not appropriate for their careers because theycannot connect the real world and their assignments during school years, and prefer socialstudies1. Girls, although not limited in their ability to be successful programmers and to excel inengineering design, need positive mentor or
