Leifer, I integrate approaches from engineering, de- sign and psychology to investigate the contemporary team practice of multicultural design innovation and multicultural, interdisciplinary science innovation. Specifically, I investigate a psychological mechanism – perplexity - through which engineers thrive when their habitual mind clashes with the social realities. In addition, I test interventions to nudge engineers to reframe problematic schema-incongruent situations into unique opportunities for cognitive growth, creative performance, and effective teamwork. My work contributes to revealing the science behind multicultural, interdisciplinary technological collaboration and providing actionable guidance for

Most agree that a strong assessmentprogram must include an evaluation of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). Since the advent ofABET2000, assessment of SLOs has become a critical component of program assessment inengineering, technology, and computer science programs.
