There were a variety of topics including turning Ferris wheels,crashing vehicles, quiz scores, and steam in a turbine to name a few. To summarize most of thetopics involved academics, geographic relevance, temperature, the use of kitchen items, vehiclefunctions, mechanical systems, laboratory setups or experimentation, food or beverage items,sports or entertainment, balls and boxes in motion or suspended, manufacturing, and actions ofpeople. Seven questions did not contain cultural context. For most of the questions, the teamcomments and observations were similar or identified the same discrepancies in the accessiblelanguage and other

The use ofLSP opens the door to the externalization of ideas more explicitly, with a deeper meaning,facilitates internalization of new knowledge and accelerates socialization by structuring theinteractions within the group [9]. It opens the door to ‘play’, facilitates communication bylowering the barrier, putting people at ease which fosters students’ insights and self-awareness

First year engineering students areexposed to these skills early on through an introductory engineering course, simulating a real-world engineering environment through team projects. These skills are built upon throughout thecurriculum, particularly in required laboratory courses. In MSE, senior students take twosemesters on engineering design as a core major requirement. The first senior capstone designcourse, “Sustainable Materials Design”, has been restructured to focus on the economic,environmental, and social impact of engineering materials and processes through semester-longteam projects. The objectives of the Sustainable Materials Design course are: 1. Identify and compare approaches to

Compared to cybersecurity in general, however,cyber engineering still requires further refinement in its curriculum coverage. The currentcurriculum for the cyber engineering program at our university is centered on cyber physicalsystems (CPS) and their security including device-level security, boot security, and attack-resilienthardware/middleware. As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well. To better facilitate hands-on learning in a curricularsetting, we have been developing a 1/5th-scale autonomous vehicle as a framework of cyberphysical systems for a set of cyber engineering

chances for employment upon graduation.With these beneficial outcomes for students in mind, why is it that single-discipline designcourses – particularly those for engineering capstone design, still prevail? Research offers longlaundry lists of difficulties associated with developing collaborative design coursework includingsystemic challenges (Behdinan, Pop-Iliev, & Foster (2014); Bannerot, Kastor, Ruchhoeft, &Terry (2004)). An 11-year review of the literature suggests that while providing students withauthentic interdisciplinary practice is important, the ability to model and teach ininterdisciplinary ways is lacking (Van den Beemt, MacLeod, Vander Veen, Van de Ven, van Baalen, Klaassen, & Boon, 2020).The hypothesis of Newell, Doty
