At the same time, as a discipline that bridges architecture and social sciences,B&P was the perfect agent between CE and FS. The collaboration has been quite fruitful, with the three teachers moving increasinglycloser year by year in terms of disciplinary overlap and having continued to do so after theend of the three-year project.

The purpose of this was toallow for transfer of learning throughout the week, allowing the students to build and showcasetheir own comprehension. The paradigm, the materials science tetrahedron, provided cohesionthroughout an otherwise broad and seemingly disconnected field, while the design projectallowed for students to implement what they learned during the week in a group setting. Thisapproach concomitantly enhances confidence and their sense of belonging within engineering.

SchoolIntroductionIn the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects nearly three million new jobs in STEMby 20201, which requires capable individuals with educational backgrounds in STEM to fill thepositions. However, in 2009, the U.S. Department of Education stated that only 16% of USstudents obtained a STEM-related degree out of 1.6 million bachelor’s degrees2. The lack ofcreativity and perspectives in STEM from the limited labor pool becomes a serious concern forthe society. The reason for students to be less willing to pursue a STEM degree in college can bevarious, for example, lack of quality preparation in mathematics and science or lack of financialsupport. Among the factors, an important reason is the lack of general knowledge
