Envision and the role ofcognitive barriers in decision making. These outcomes will help students recognize the impactsthese barriers have on multiple stakeholder groups, as well as how certain planning tools andframeworks may be used to overcome them.Introduction There is currently great need for a restructuring of engineering education. As societycontinues to grow in technology, information, and complexity, the traditional approach ofteaching information about a subject is becoming insufficient. Now in the Internet age, one of thegreatest challenges is for students to make sense of an overabundance of information (Allenby2011). Today more than ever, students need interdisciplinary knowledge to better address thecomplex and multifaceted

curricula: a traditional mechanical engineeringdegree program and a cross-disciplinary engineering degree program with a strong core ofmechanical engineering. They then surveyed both alumni and students who took these classesand found out that there was a statistically significant difference between the two programs in thestudents and graduates abilities to address complex technological problems.With the industry moving towards a more integrated approach of project delivery, existingmisperceptions between the design and construction professionals may hinder the establishmentof cohesive and collaborative work environments. As suggested by various studies (4), thisproblem should thus be addressed early on during students’ undergraduate years through
nanometers andmolecules. This highly interdisciplinary scientific enterprise draws from diverse disciplines,including chemical and biomolecular engineering, material and pharmaceutical sciences,biotechnology, nanotechnology, bioengineering, pharmacology, imaging, and diverse areas ofbiomedicine.In order to meet the challenges of preparing a young cadre for multidisciplinary research inacademia, industry, technology transfer and regulatory organizations, we have established a newcourse to train juniors, seniors and graduate students on current methods and research in drugdelivery. While this paper explains the structure of one DDS course, we expect that theframework of the course can be used to develop interdisciplinary courses at other

therapeutics.Dr. Jon D Koch, Trine University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017IntroductionNumerical problems and exercises are foundational to the education of students in natural science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and have been a central feature in the curriculum ofthose majors. The effort that students put forth in solving these problems is a prerequisite for the studentsunderstanding and problem solving ability. Learners can mislead themselves in thinking they havemastered a topic, if they look at the solution to a problem before they expend sufficient effort in solvingthat problem. This self-deception can have a negative impact on student learning4. The temptation tolook at the
