Multidisciplinary Engineering

, as a collaborativeeffort between Messiah College and a small company, has gone through several fits and startsincluding sporadic seed grant funding, angel investor interest, multiple field trials, consultantcontributions, and attempted commercialization. These phases have exposed students totechnical challenges of electrical and computer engineering outside the formal classroom, butalso have required an interdisciplinary mindset to understand the social need and recognizerealistic hurdles inherent to getting a product from development to market. Previous papers haveaddressed the competitive student team member selection process and assessment of the credit-bearing project work in our engineering project curriculum at Messiah College. This

[You] get that taste early on of what that’s like and . . . whether you work for a Fortune 500 company or a not-for-profit it doesn’t really matter; it’s small working groups working on projects and having to communicate and collaborate and it’s just kind of how stuff gets done.” (Faculty 3) In the alumni survey, average ratings were high for questions asking whether “being involved with design was beneficial for me” (M=4.86 on a scale of 1-5) and “gave me skills which extend beyond professional and academic settings” (M = 4.74 on a scale of 1-5).
