fundamentally new conceptual frameworks,hypotheses, theories, models, and methodological applications that transcend their disciplinaryorigins.”Transdisciplinary research requires interaction and boundary-crossing collaborative discovery[6], [7], [8], [9]. It has been used as a community-engaged learning modality for sustainability[10], [11], [12]. Unlike the controlled laboratory settings typical of science and engineering,transdisciplinary settings are complex, dynamic social systems with open boundaries, non-linearbehavior, self-organization, and recursive interactions among agents that hold widely differentvalues. In short, transdisciplinarity is a dynamically complex system. Those who have used thislearning modality report emergent results, often

Students will use [the local city]as a laboratory to apply principles of reverse engineering to understand existing infrastructureand apply the design process to develop creative solutions to urban infrastructure problems.Engineering Failures: Lessons for the Future (Civil and Environmental Engineering –Instructor 5)Unless they are constructed and used entirely at sea, in the air, or in space, all structures aresupported by soil and/or rock for at least part of their design life.

The main goal of the FYSE program is to strengthen engineering-related mathematicsskills, with particular focus on pre-calculus and the application of engineering problem solving.Each day during the week, the students participate in several classroom and laboratory hours ofmath-intensive curriculum aligned with practicing and strengthening engineering problem-solving skills (see Appendix A for sample syllabus from 2017). From 2012, the coursework has 5been taught by three university faculty members and instructors and assisted by a graduateassistant and undergraduate teaching assistants. In

He was also the FoundingDirector of the Systems Realization Laboratory at Georgia Tech.Farrokh’s current research focus is the model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncer-tainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid androbust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His questfor answers to the key question is anchored in three projects, namely,Integrated Realization of Robust, Resilient and Flexible NetworksIntegrated Realization of Engineered Materials and ProductsManaging Organized and Disorganized Complexity: Exploration of the Solution

Collaborative Skills- Groups cannot function effectively if members do not have (be willing to learn) or use some needed social skills. These skills include: leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management. Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need to prioritize the scheduled activities, introduce changes if need be, solicit advice and assistance with the consent of the instructor, and maintain effective

= pathlength (distance that light travels through the sample). Note: This equation is only accuratewhen the absorbance of the sample is between 0.1-1.0. The first spectrophotometer that could effectively measure transmittance (and absorbance)was invented by Arnold Beckman of National Technical Laboratories in 1940. Beckman’s initialdesign used a glass prism to split light into various wavelengths and a vacuum tube photocell tomeasure transmittance, but later models used more reliable quartz prisms. Modern spectrophotometers use essentially the same design, but with a few key changes(see Figure 6). The light source is typically a halogen light bulb, which emits wavelength in thevisible range ( = 300-700 nm) and near-infrared, but a
