. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Multidisciplinary Design Projects in Engineering EducationAbstractIn the modern age the engineering filed is rapidly evolving into a complex system with the needof multiple branches of engineering know how to solve modern problems. Electrical,Mechanical, Civil, Software Engineers and even those experts outside of the engineering fieldshould collaborate to produce quality designs and solutions for the Future. With these newelements and demands in the engineering field, engineers are expected to behave likemultipurpose tools. Engineers with applicable knowledge form varying technological displacesthat can be utilized effectively on demand of the projects. Likewise, the engineers of
higher education points to the following root causes: 1) Lack of widespreadunderstanding of these disciplines among the general public4, 2) dry, abstract, and non-related toreal world approaches to teaching math, science and engineering courses, 3) low level ofproficiency in mathematics and science for the freshman5, 4) high attrition rate due to poorperformance during the freshman year 6, which creates a negative influence in the average highschool student.In recognition of the need to reverse this trend, and even more to transform engineeringeducation according to the economical, technological and societal challenges of the 21st century,engineering educators have initiated and documented several initiatives.

instruction. Finally, faculty members’ reflect on theirexperience working as part of a multidisciplinary team and offer recommendations forimplementation.BackgroundThe field of engineering demands collaboration to solve today’s complex problems. Gone are thedays of working alone in a lab. Today’s engineer needs to be able to function as a productiveteam member, and to accomplish this objective, the engineer needs to be a competentcommunicator. As a result, much of the focus of communication instruction within theengineering disciplines emphasizes effective informal communication within teams. In fact, agreater focus has been placed on “teaming” in the engineering education literature.Engineering teaming research, in general, encompasses the following

Thepaper provides highlights of an application of the translational research model at ClemsonUniversity in which students in multidisciplinary teams research novel and adapted solutions tosocietal problems, work through multiple funding sources, and collaborate with communitystakeholders to implement infrastructure solutions. The facets of translational research will bedefined, as well as differentiated from problem-based learning and service-learning. Initial datasupporting the educational outcomes gained from this learning style will be discussed. Overall,the case is made for the expansion of translational
Education, 2007 An Integrated Interdisciplinary Technology Project in Undergraduate Engineering EducationAbstractThe ever changing engineering curriculum mandates an emphasis on interdisciplinary projects.Through interdisciplinary projects, students will be exposed to a curriculum that allows them towork in teams of multi-disciplinary members with focus geared towards integrated technologies.This effort requires collaboration of students and faculty from multiple disciplines, and providesstudents an opportunity to learn from several other engineering systems. In addition, theseprojects will also help students to learn and deal with the societal aspects of engineering.The main focus of the paper is the
