c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Using Boundary Negotiating Artifacts to Investigate Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary TeamsAbstract: Teamwork, and interdisciplinary teamwork in particular, are increasingly recognizedas an important part of engineering education. Engineering educators have therefore taken aninterest in employing and studying teamwork in their curriculum. Yet much of their scholarshiphas focused on documenting student and faculty experiences of teamwork and describingprograms and courses only. Examinations of the actual practices and artifacts, that studentscreate and use to manage interdisciplinary team collaborations are an underexplored researcharea. However, such studies

Theportal can be found at http://nationalethicscenter.org/. For example, ―The Practice of Ethics inClassroom Teaching,‖16 is a video showing ways to support student learning through ethicalfaculty behavior.

Collaborating with otherdepartments to create ethics modules uses the existing campus resources to overcome the lack oftraining and the insecurities about teaching unfamiliar material. In addition, training faculty toteach ethics and offering incentives to incorporate ethics into coursework demonstrates acommitment to ethics as an integral part of engineering education and therefore an integral partof the institutional culture.

With the hydraulic fracturing intervention, granting students the autonomy to conducttheir own research and guide peer collaboration fostered interest and engagement. Situating theactivity in the broader context of engineering in society helped students appreciate theirprofessional responsibility and understand the role of engineering in a systems perspective.The focus group analysis also indicated that the impact of an intervention is partially dependenton the context in which it is embedded.

the engineering curriculum?Compared to all the elements of the engineering curriculum, the ES is the most distant andinaccessible to partnerships and collaborations between ES instructors and everyone elsecommitted to engineering education—such as design faculty and HSS faculty within engineeringeducation contexts. Interdisciplinary collaborations are becoming more common in Intro classes,design courses, and HSS [2]. Even the basic math and science courses have become sites ofinnovative pedagogical interventions [3]. But for the most part, the ES remain closed to theseinterdisciplinary collaborations and integrations. Why is that?An obvious response is that the ES tend to be among the most technical components of anengineering education. But
