undertaken during the spring semester 2019 at a large public university in theMid-Atlantic region. The main goal of the research was to explore whether undergraduatestudent participation in an interdisciplinary service-learning collaborative project resulted in anincrease in their teamwork effectiveness.ParticipantsSeventy-six undergraduate students were recruited to participate from two colleges: PreserviceTeacher Students (PST, N1=34) and Undergraduate Engineering Students (UES, N2=42) at aUniversity in the Mid-Atlantic region. Their participation was associated with courses they weretaking as part of their degree programs. Table 1 and Table 2 show the distribution of participantsby gender and ethnicity respectively for each degree program.Table 1

, web-conferencing, message board, automatic reminders, project repository, task progresstracking, etc. The instructional scaffolds were developed during Spring 2014 and baseline datawas collected during four consecutive semesters from 278 undergraduate and graduate studentsfrom the College of Engineering at a mid-Atlantic public university. Students were recruitedfrom courses with a hybrid instructional delivery with some students present on campus andothers attending live via web-based technology. All the participating students were part of avirtual team with at least two remote members.The implementation of the web-based tool and associated scaffolds required some course-specific customization because the nature of the class project, the

Mid-Atlantic university. The guiding philosophybehind its design is that of the “t-shaped engineer,” which advocates for a combination of bothdeep disciplinary knowledge and the ability to work with professionals from a variety of fields[12]. Additionally, the increasing emphasis on the National Academy of Engineering’s GrandChallenges and similar problems which require input and solutions from experts in many fieldshas served as a catalyst for the program’s development [13]. Existing research has also indicatednumerous purely educational benefits to working on interdisciplinary teams, including 2developing the ability to effectively collaborate with experts from other fields and exposure

Education, 2017 Benefits and Challenges of Transitioning to Community Service Multidisciplinary Capstone ProjectsAbstractSignificant research has shown the positive benefit of service and community-based learning onstudent diversity, engagement, and retention. Elements of service-learning have beenincorporated across disciplines into traditional classes as well as capstone experiences. Whileproviding significant benefits, challenges also exist in managing relationships with externalclients, finding administrative support for these experiences, and engaging students in moreopen-ended projects.Recognizing these benefits, new capstone projects have been introduced at our mid-sized mid-Atlantic college over the last two
