This disconnect hasresulted in today’s engineering students lacking the key skills needed to be successful engineers [4]. There have been many prominent calls to reduce the distance between engineering education andengineering practice, with perhaps the most notable being from the National Academy of Engineering’sEngineer of 2020 project [5], [6]. As a result, engineering education is starting to change.One key area of change in engineering education is the inclusion of interdisciplinary knowledge andteamwork skills into engineering curricula.
