The complexityof engineering problems has required engineers to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.Therefore, multidisciplinary capstone design has been becoming a regular practice in engineeringschools. However, collaborative design among multiple disciplines for non-capstone courses hasbeen neglected. In spring 2018, students enrolled in Measurements and

This is commonlyreferred to as connectivism, and it values the impact of stakeholder information appraisal skills,virtual and personal communication skills [1], and the sense of cultural awareness. CollaborativeOnline International Learning (COIL), a type of connectivism, typically involves instructors andstudents from at least two geographically and culturally distinct areas who collaborate virtuallyon a common project for four or more weeks.

Description of the New Engineering Education Transformation ProgramPresent-day industry requires employees and entrepreneurs with skills that are essential forthriving in the 21st century, such as collaboration, communication, creativity, and learning on one’sown. Many of these essential skills are not acquired during traditional undergraduate engineeringeducation, centered on lecturers and recitations [3], [4]. The need for students to acquire theseskills is also reflected in papers published by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-Development) [5] and the US NRC (National Research Council) [6].

While we believe this type of course is critical in helpingstudents learn skill sets necessary for engineering careers, educators face significant institutionalchallenges when integrating experiential learning with traditional pedagogies. Further work isneeded to achieve acceptance and institutionalization for experiential learning pedagogies withinexisting engineering educational frameworks. This type of collaboration across colleges andschools and outside entities also requires universities and colleges to support
