Curriculum, Course, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Program of theNational Science Foundation, the P360 research effort examines the curricular, pedagogical,cultural, and organizational features that support undergraduate engineering education that iswell-aligned with the goals of the National Academy of Engineering’s Engineer of 202012. (Anadditional goal of this study is to identify educational practices that facilitate the success ofwomen and minority students in engineering.)Our findings reveal how engineering faculty and administrators implicitly and explicitly defineinterdisciplinarity. After demonstrating the different, sometimes conflicting, understandings ofthe term, we comment on the conceptualization of interdisciplinarity that guided

and Practice presented students with a series of projects over a year longinformal experience. In our case, learners were presented with engineering design problemswhere solutions are achieved via an actual project. Participants had access to a wide range ofresources that included human and content rich media, Arizona State University art museum andengineering laboratories, the Phoenix Zoo, the Arizona Science Center, a number of differenttypes of hardware and software technologies. The project therefore is the culmination of thelearning process, and the solution is the finished product21,22,23,24. Using a project-challenge thatis analogous to complicated tasks encountered in today’s STEM workplaces, student teams wereconfronted with a

various and sometimes unexpected ways: New computer hardware allows not only higher speed computers but also smaller, lightweight devices such as PDA’s and cell phones. New applications bring not only new or better services (voice/video over IP, etc.) but also new challenges as well as malicious applications such as viruses and email spam, which have become commonplace.James Krogmeier, Purdue University James V. Krogmeier received the BSEE degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1981 and the MS and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1983 and 1990, respectively. From 1982 to 1984 he was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories in
