Transforming engineering curricula to more thoroughly andconsistently integrate core principles of engineering design with communication and criticalthinking skills can make engineering education more valuable and more effective overall;however, such integration efforts may not always succeed. Often the work of integration ishighly demanding in terms of logistical planning, institutional support, and instructorcommitment, as Hirsch et al.12 recognized.

To compare students’ interdisciplinary competence in engineering fields,Lattuca developed a measure for assessing students’ interdisciplinary competence, whichconsisted of three dimensions: (a) interdisciplinary skills, (b) recognizing disciplinaryperspectives, and (c) reflective behavior [10].

In our description of this project, we highlight thepotentially productive tension between curriculum design and assessment in an environment ofinstitutional change.Background General education is often structured in a “checklist” format, where students need tocomplete a prescribed number of credits in each of several categories.

Many programs have also begun toemphasize technical communication skills. A national organization that integrates these prioritiesis the Engineering Ambassadors Network (EAN), which trains undergraduates to raise awarenessof what engineers do and how they contribute to society. Typical ambassador activities includethe delivery of a presentation and a hands-on activity to middle or high school students.Currently, there are an estimated 634 EAs in the United States
