to grow at a faster rate than the demand for qualified graduates inother occupations. Despite the value and increasing necessity of STEM skills within today’ssociety and the 21st century workforce, substantial numbers of Americans still do not have equalaccess to postsecondary STEM education and, thus, have limited opportunities for STEM-relatedemployment and careers [4].Along with unequal access to STEM degree programs, researchers report stark differencesbetween traditional and nontraditional undergraduate enrollment and degree attainment in STEM,wherein nontraditional students consistently fare worse. Chen and Weko [5] found it was atypicalfor students who were older, financially self-supporting, or from low socio-economicbackgrounds to

Smart Environments for assisted living: a multidisciplinary collaboration in engineering and architecture educationAbstractThis paper presents a description of a collaborative project-based on the integration oftechnology development in the built environment for assisted living. The multidisciplinarycollaboration is developed as a cooperative commitment to provide support for cross-border,collective projects. It was initiated as a project based learning setting between undergraduateengineering students, and four years later the program shifted to include undergraduatearchitecture students and engineering master’s students. The learning experience opens the gateto a completely new collaborative setting, yet to be established

it has impacted students’ sense of belonging.1 IntroductionCollaborative learning is an evidence-based instructional practice that has been adopted by manyinstructors in STEM courses in higher education. Research indicates that engaging students incollaborative activities is associated with increased student persistence, and improves studentlearning outcomes and retention [1, 2]. Successful and productive collaborations are rarelyguaranteed, however they can be greatly improved by a careful design of the task [3] and the useof available technologies, to both promote collaborations among students and support theinstructors implementing these activities [4, 5, 6, 7]. However, most of the evidence-basedpractices for collaborative learning

Engineering’s accreditation body in the United States,ABET, requires institutions to demonstrate multidisciplinary teamwork skills development intheir education [15]. Engineering educators have revised their education approach to preparestudents for industry, and the engineering curriculum and prevailing pedagogies have changed –and continue to change – to meet these demands [16], [17].

A Capstone Designteam’s first step toward project success is the generation of questions for the project’s clientregarding project deliverables, objectives, constraints, and deadlines. After the teams and clientsmeet in the client interview, the teams have gained enough information to begin designingsolutions to the problem. The teams brainstorm ideas and sketch them with the assistance ofgraphics packages such as SolidWorks. After the teams fully explore the design space and gatherall pertinent information about their individual designs (such as cost estimates, productionfeasibility and ease of implementation) they present their ideas

Complex engagement refers to connectedgroups of students working together in multiple ways to solve problems. It involves effectivecommunication among students and capitalizing on each other’s strengths. Adaptive engagementrefers to student groups adjusting to problems spaces and exploring multiple competing ideas. Itinvolves the evolution of possible solutions to problems within student groups, where ideas areexplored and vetted for adequacy. Interactive engagement properties are emergent; they
