What are the similarities between laboratories and theaters as educational spaces? How might the educational experience in laboratories be enhanced by exploiting the parallels between labs and theaters? Figure 1.

In its current state, the course falls short in meeting several of the institutionaloutcomes. In a series of conversations and meetings, the department faculty and leadershipidentified various deficiencies in the course with respect to meeting these outcomes, the mostprominent of which was the lack of curriculum dedicated to teaching and practicing engineeringdesign. To better achieve these outcomes, the course was redesigned during the summer of 2021,and three experimental sections of this course were taught

Due to the Medicis and afew other like-minded families, sculptors, scientists, poets, philosophers, financiers, painters, andarchitects from all over Europe and as far as China converged upon the city of Florence. Therethey found each other, learned from one another, and broke down the barriers between theirdisciplines and cultures.

interdisciplinarity show that some engineering problems, the solutions towhich are rooted in different disciplines, require a flexible, creative, and innovative perspective[4], [7]. Social enterprises are also interested in innovative, marketable solutions that ensurefinancial sustainability and feasibility for the organization, as well as creating a positive impacton the society they serve [11]-[12]. Therefore, not only are these ways of thinking important ontheir own, but it is practical to teach them together. This study seeks to understand how aninterdisciplinary narrative embedded into an undergraduate engineering design class cancontribute to students’ development of EM and interdisciplinary competence.

The principles of small batch size in a manufacturing environment arepresented first to define terms and concepts. These are then imposed on a common coursestructure to examine potential differences between “large batch” and “small batch” coursedesign.

projectplanning tend to receive less focus in engineering curricula. Students often perceive them not as“core” knowledge in their engineering majors. Increasing engineering student interest, attention,engagement and deeper learning in these knowledge areas is a challenge. In addition to makingcourse materials relevant to these engineering disciplines, instructors have to employ variousactive learning initiatives to ensure effective teaching and learning are actually taking place.
