information registered in a multidimensional code [6, 7].The term episodic reflects its capacity to hold integrated episodes that extend both spatially andtemporally. It is a buffer because it offers a multidimensional code that allows information fromdifferent subsystems to be integrated and linked to LTM. Such a multidimensional capacity tendsto be computationally demanding, hence the buffer's limited capacity [8]. The buffer is assumedto be controlled by the CE, using conscious awareness as an effective retrieval strategy [9-11].The episodic buffer's prominent feature is information chunking. Chunking is where storagecapacity increases by integrating several disparate features into a single whole [12]. The episodicbuffer involves the more complex

integration of disciplinary components isone potential outcome of interdisciplinary work, but according to this definition, it is not the onlycriterion for interdisciplinarity.Repko (2008)5 argues that interdisciplinarity “should be defined in terms of integration” and that“the disciplines themselves are the necessary preconditions for and foundation ofinterdisciplinarity” (p. 123). The task in an interdisciplinary project is to “identify the perspectiveof each discipline and interdisciplinei and their defining elements relevant to the problem [to besolved]” (2008, p. 122). This process of achieving integration, according to Klein (1996, p.221)14, requires identifying, evaluating, and rectifying differences between disciplinary insights.The OECD

Though a university can only have limited impact on the attrition of womenin the engineering workforce, we can (and must!) work to improve recruitment and retention andto graduate women with adequate preparation for an engineering career.

, according to this criterion. Second, the centrality criterion means that projects in which students learn things that are outside the curriculum ("enrichment" projects) are also not examples of PBL, no matter how appealing or engaging.(2) PBL projects are focused on questions or problems that "drive" students to encounter (and struggle with) the central concepts and principles of a discipline. This criterion is a subtle one. The definition of the project (for students) must "be crafted in order to make a connection between activities and the underlying conceptual knowledge that one might hope to foster."(3) Projects involve students in a constructive investigation.
