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

this, transportation engineers need a broad background aboutdifferent elements in this system. The breadth and complexity of the transportation system is oneof the aspects that makes a career in transportation appealing, but it is also one of the largestchallenges in educating the future transportation engineer.Traditionally, most transportation engineers graduate from undergraduate programs in civilengineering. Within the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum, three-quarters of theprograms require one or two transportation engineering courses to introduce civil engineeringstudents to the profession by providing a broad background of the field1. Most often, students donot take these courses until the junior year of the program. Elective

and inform curriculum development to better align engineering education with industryneeds. By understanding students’ experiences and perspectives, educators can identify pathwaysfor integrating AI training that equips graduates with relevant skills for an AI-driven workforce.Brief Literature ReviewEngineering Design ProblemsDesign problems represent some of the most complex and ill-structured challenges encounteredin engineering practice. Researchers [7] [8] have characterized design problems as ill-structureddue to their ambiguous goals, undefined solution paths, and the necessity to integrate multipledomains of knowledge. Beyond the contextual complexity, the creation of an artifact as evidenceof problem-solving and the absence of clear
small projects or open-ended problems, throughout the curriculum. While very valuable inmany ways, these design experiences do not include any reflection on, or awareness of, thelearning process itself.A project of this kind creates new educational opportunities and serves as an active andcooperative learning environment, similar to the one that Shuman et al.1 have alluded to. Itincludes instructions that promote student understanding and development. In addition, itupgrades professor/student communication in a very interactive way. Such advantages may notbe encountered in the typical undergraduate engineering curricula.Active learning can be defined as any instructional method that engages students in their ownlearning process by encouraging

With the proliferation of AI in everyday life, it is important tointroduce the topic early in the engineering curriculum. This paper focuses on generative AI andmachine learning topics using two different educational strategies. The objective of this researchwas to explore students’ comprehension of AI and their motivation to engage in AI learning afterbeing introduced to AI tools.In a first-semester project engineering course, generative AI was introduced as a tool. Studentswere guided on the ethical and effective use of generative AI and were encouraged to discuss itslimitations. Students had the option to use generative AI for their writing
