The interdisciplinary course,meeting one hour per week, involves team-teaching, the professional community, and scarceteaching resources. The departmental component is in a laboratory format. Discipline-specificlabs allow departments to assign problems related to their own discipline and introduce non-common content. Most importantly, it also provides departments with the opportunity to get toknow their students and allows the students to feel connected to a department.Each departmental representative on the committee presented a list of topics covered in theirdiscipline-specific course.

In a qualitative survey conductedby the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) to help assess the impact of thepandemic on the engineering education community [1], respondents overwhelmingly consideredthe loss of lab-based, hands-on instruction to be the leading problem faced by engineeringeducators.

This process involves searchingstudents’ lab reports for their writing mistakes and sorting the relevant extracts into categoriesand identifying themes. Characterization and theme identification are made by analyzingprevious semesters’ reports for a total of 140 lab reports and pre-defining the themes for futureapplications. Observations may be made at each semester that do not fit into any of the pre-defined categories. For this reason, the themes will grow over the course

This led to fewer of the German students attending lecturesregularly or participating in social activities with the UW-Stout students, as they were spendingtheir time preparing for exams.Evaluation for the course was primarily designed to mimic the normal practice used in Germanywhere the entire grade is often based on the final exam. However, it was decided that a labcomponent must be part of the grading criteria. Support for this action was twofold. First, thecourse is a pre-requisite to an advanced injection molding course for students in the UW-StoutPlastics Engineering program. Second, applied learning through laboratory experiences is
