‭students have about engineering and engineers. A 2011 study asked students to draw an engineer‬ ‭and interviewed some students about their drawings. They found that most students described‬ ‭engineers as a mechanic, laborer, or technician, with few students describing an engineer as a‬ ‭designer. In addition, students predominantly drew engineers as men‬‭[3]‬‭. This misconception of‬ ‭engineers and engineering makes it difficult for students to picture themselves as engineers,‬ ‭which means students who may enjoy engineering might not consider it a viable career option.‬‭ ince the Capobianco et al. 2011 study, there has been an increase in engineering curriculum in‬S‭K-12 spaces due to many states

institution.Training Interdisciplinary Scientists –Past Findings and RecommendationsThe need for interdisciplinary (ID) research expertise has been recognized and pursued for morethan three decades (See reports [8] and [9]). “Convergence”, described as the transdisciplinaryintegration of disciplines in research, is now recognized as a key for solving complex scientificquestions to address urgent societal challenges [10]. Convergence is considered an evolution oftransdisciplinary, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research paradigms. It exceeds olderparadigms in that convergence leads to the creation of new frameworks for communicating andsynthesizing ideas and integrating diverse expertise to innovate and create new solutions.National Research Council

Asstated by Daly and Bryan1; “Nanoscale science and engineering represents both the revolutionaryand evolutionary nature of science, and if we are to remain contemporary in our curriculum wemust design lessons focused in this area and find ways to successfully integrate this content intocurricula.” However, few teachers have the knowledge to incorporate NSE into their curriculumsince this field of knowledge is developing after they have left school themselves.

for each student.In 2015-2016, the first experiment with multidisciplinary senior design was predicated on thesupposition that students would benefit from being enrolled in the senior design coursesequences appropriate to their majors. Therefore, the students participating in multidisciplinaryprojects did not enroll in a dedicated class but instead enrolled in the traditional sequences ofcourses (as shown in Table 1). The 2015-2016 cohort integrated students from multiple majorson an extra-curricular basis; students took on an additional design experience that supplementedtheir required course or worked with students enrolled in other classes. This effort met with asignificant lack of success and became a source of frustration for students

Further, a report was submitted, describing theassigned topic area and how their stage demonstrated that topic area. At the end of the semester,each stage was assembled to build the full Rube Goldberg machine. As such, the student groupshad to communicate with each other to determine how to transition between stages.

Based on student feedback, engineering students respond more positively to coursesthat involve real systems and problems, and consequently, probably learn better. Usingrealistic case studies is a logical response to these learning issues. In fact, most MBA programsrecognize the value of case studies and use them extensively.Our case study design also helps our Civil Engineering degree program meet several ABET2000 goals and criteria.
