Instrumentation (anElectrical Engineering course) and Software Maintenance and Reengineering from ComputerSciences and Software Engineering department collaborated on five Internet of Things (IoT)projects. The collaboration has revealed both challenges and positive outcomes. This paperdescribes the collaboration, the students’ feedback and lessons learned. 1. IntroductionEngineering projects have become complex in the 20th century and require multiple teams fromdifferent disciplines to work collaboratively to solve problems. Collaboration betweenmultidisciplinary teams has become a standard in industries; however, educational curricula havebeen slow to adapt.

of year-to-year comparisons,it is notable that no across-the-board impairment of student skill enhancement was noted. Thiswould suggest that benefits, while varying somewhat due to students prior skillsets and otherfactors, were clearly delivered by the online program.As with prior years, publications are expected to result from year 3 of the program. At present,one publication has occurred (in a conference proceedings) and several others from year 3 are invarious stages of the publication pipeline.Overall, the program performed similarly in year 3 to prior years. It outperformed prior years insome areas, such as with design skill gain, project management skill gain and technical skill andexcitement gain attribution. It underperformed in

change.Design thinking is a framework that will be familiar to many engineering educators for its use inproduct design. As a research and program improvement methodology, design thinking has thebenefit of valuing students as co-innovators in the change process. It consists of a non-linear fivestage process that includes building empathy, defining the problem, ideating solutions,prototyping, and testing. The design thinking process used in this study was supported by bothquantitative and qualitative methods with a total sample size of 679 student participants.Quantitative data is presented from the department’s senior survey (n = 654). Qualitative data ispresented from 12 interviews and 3 focus groups (n = 25) conducted during Spring 2019.The four

This was different, considering that the studentsbarely discussed it. This indicated that this may be lost in communication. The UPDreiterated that the culture focuses on thinking critically, including ethical responsibility. From the civil engineering perspective, the UPD was contacted. They highlighted thetop skills their program best developed: communication, ethical intelligence and organization,in particular time management. They mentioned that courses barely focused on criticalthinking or continuous learning. Students generally agreed with these findings, with the majordifference laying in

Whileliterature exists on in-person co-ops and internships [5]–[7], relatively little exists on engineeringinternships held virtually [8]. This Work-in-Progress paper reviews the literature on virtualinternships across disciplines to find effective practices that can be applied to virtual engineeringinternships. The review sets the stage by a brief summary of research on traditional engineeringinternships and management of virtual teams before delving into findings on the opportunitiesand limitations as well as program design recommendations for virtual internships.IntroductionEstablishing quality measures specific to virtual internships has relevance to employers
