At the start of our conversations, we were careful not to use terms such as“multidisciplinary” and “interdisciplinary” so as not to influence answers, and we transcribed theresponses of each individual as they were interviewed. The complete list of interview questionsis available in Appendix 1.Once we completed the interviews, we identified the various teamwork skills mentioned by eachinterviewee. We then further identified the skills as either “general” teamwork skills or skillsparticular to working on a multidisciplinary team. For example, oral communication wasconsidered a “general” teamwork skill, whereas the ability to communicate

While we present the framework within an aerospace engineeringcurriculum, we believe that the same questions are applicable more broadly to engineering andscience curriculums, and will discuss our current work to develop shared or parallel programs inother fields.

Such effects will likely be reflected in student perceptions of theirlearning experience as well as their well-being, mental health, and retention in engineeringprograms [10] [11] [12]. In a spring 2020 survey of nine public research universities (30,725undergraduates), 35% of students screened positive for a major depressive disorder and 39%screened positive for generalized anxiety disorder based on the PHQ-2 and GAD-2 screeningtools [4].

teaching platforms: Synchronous class sessions could be held using two services supported by the university: Webex and Zoom. Prior to the shutdown, video conferencing was generally used only for meetings and typically only on rare occasions. Only one program (MS Data Science) had taught classes in remote mode using Webex.  Class meetings: Although some faculty held classes synchronously, some opted for asynchronous pre-recorded videos, and a few faculty used an intentional flipped course approach. Some faculty also relied upon publicly available (e.g., YouTube) videos.  Labs: In the absence of any physical laboratory experiment set ups, many faculty opted to emphasize simulation and analysis of data

,concretizing the shift from a mechanical art to a liberal art, and the architect from a master-craftsman to a well-regarded, and independent, professional (Ettlinger, 1977). For the engineer –a profession that has a much more robust hold over technical expertise – said separation occurreda bit earlier. In both cases, the need for the services offered by the newly-acknowledgedprofession was founded upon the ability of the professional to realize larger, more complex workthan the trades could accomplish. This identity attached both professions to those actors whocould best afford this scale of work (Cuff, 1998). As this professional identity solidified over thecenturies, and the engineer and architect become more influential, both professions advocated

I tested a number of other interviewsto ascertain whether these basic factors are present, and whether other factors might also beimportant.

In addition togiving engineering students the technical skills required to succeed as engineers, educators mustalso provide students with a toolbox of social skills. Acknowledging and educating about genderbiases will encourage engineers to treat all people, especially those of marginalized genderidentities, with dignity, and provide engineers with strategies when they are not accorded thatdignity.References[1] K.

Career-related functions could includesponsorship, supporting visibility, providing ideas, feedback and suggestions, and protectionagainst risks [4].
