reporthighlighted that ever-advancing technologies and increasingly complex problems requireengineers to work effectively in inter- and multidisciplinary teams [1]. A more recent report inthe UK by the Royal Academy of Engineering further emphasized the increasing need forengineers to develop multidisciplinary skills to work effectively on technological advances at theintersections of traditional disciplines [2]. Broo et al. further note that many traditionalboundaries between different engineering disciplines are “eroding”, thus necessitating engineersto be capable of continually learning new skills across disciplines [3]. These drivers are likelyamong the reasons that the use of “multidisciplinary” and similar terms in peer-reviewed paperscontinues to

Practical activities, such asmodeling aquifer recharge and measuring water flow rates, allow students to simulate naturalprocesses like infiltration, capillary action, and groundwater movement. These experimentsdemonstrate engineering principles in action and encourage students to design prototypes for waterconservation technologies, including artificial recharge systems and irrigation networks.
