Reframingthe seminar as a research group meeting will allow the faculty members to focus more onproviding opportunities to grow as a researcher and develop professionally. For example, facultymembers have explored hosting a session to discuss how to become an interdisciplinary scholar,and students are now regularly bringing work (grant proposals, abstracts, talks) to share with oneanother for feedback – and consequently deepening their awareness of one another’s fields. Byexplicitly discussing with students how to think interdisciplinarily and how to conduct researchacross disciplines, students will be more likely to develop a functional understanding of theinterdisciplinary space.We

For example,how students conceive a particular discipline or career will influence this decision, as what theybelieve it to involve will likely affect their interest in engaging with it. In engineering, studentsoften have misconceptions regarding what it means to be an engineer and the Draw-an-EngineerTest (DAET) has frequently been used to investigate these misconceptions.Studies using DAET have found that young students typically conceive engineers

Decisions regarding how ESI is taught are the confluence of a range offactors such as curricular space, faculty expertise and teaching load, and university generaleducation requirements. These decisions have implications beyond the course setting in whichstudents receive formal exposure to these topics.
