Technology at Oklahoma State University has strategically planned a shifttoward an interdisciplinary senior design focus and dedicated extensive resources to achieve it,they are having to adjust previous course models. The paper will discuss the structure of onelong-standing interdisciplinary architectural engineering senior design class within the college inthe architecture department, called the Comprehensive Design Studio (AE-CDS), and compare itto developments of the last three semester of the newly developing engineering InterdisciplinarySenior Design projects (ISD) from the perspective of an architecture faculty member who hastaught both courses.

These generation systems can be used in stand-alone configurations, microgrids or in configuration connected to the power networks for gridreinforcement. Given the rapid progress in alternative energy and distributed generationtechnologies and usage, there is a greater need for trained professionals and engineers withadequate knowledge in these areas to be able to plan, design and operate such systems, andperform analytic evaluation of their impact on power systems to which they are connected.

Additionally, it allows students to evaluate engineering as an academic pursuit prior tothe college application process [13]. For students who already plan to study engineering, pre-college programs allow them to learn about different engineering disciplines and fields.Exposure to engineering before starting college can allow students to decide if engineering is theright choice for them, and which field within engineering may be the best match for theirinterests. The pre-college program discussed here is modeled similarly to engineering bootcamps. Students enrolled in our pre-college program consist of mostly rising high school juniorsand seniors and

.). EPICS still operates and has spread to many universities [5]. While students benefit fromworking on authentic multidisciplinary projects over multiple semesters, a limiting factor on theprogram was the faculty reward structure. Advising teams takes time and energy, and the effortwas not rewarded in the faculty review, promotion, and tenure process. Coyle, one of three co-founders of EPICS, valued the vertical integration of the program, and brought this aspect of theprogram to faculty research. In VIP, faculty establish teams to support large-scale long-termscholarship and exploration efforts, and teams are largely multidisciplinary across the VIPConsortium.In the Summer of 2014, Georgia Tech hosted a planning meeting for a proposed consortium

Studies found that exposure to research at an undergraduate level createspositive experiences for students which as a result, leads engineering students to pursue theirgraduate studies [1], [15]. Moreover, social interactions with graduate students, mentors, as wellas professors, can play a role in the decision to pursue post-graduate degrees.

that current education, which has not dramatically changed in X years, does notprepare students for the workforce. Through this effort, we hope to change that perception.We plan to use a “backward design” instructional design framework to develop curricula [16].This approach ensures that student learning focuses on particular actionable learning objectivesthat are measurable to improve student achievement. This approach involves 1) identifying thedesired outcomes and results, 2) determining what constitutes acceptable evidence ofcompetency in the outcomes and results (i.e., assessment), and 3) planning instructionalstrategies and learning experiences that bring students to these competency levels [17].
