This negates theintention of cross team communication and the group approach to solving problems.Regrettably, this model of team assignments where students work independently without theintended cross team communication is prevalent in STEM disciplines on many campusesnationwide. In an effort to overcome these collaborative learning shortcomings and engage thenew STEM student, the authors propose the development of the Multicourse UndergraduateLearning Community (MULC).The Multicourse Undergraduate Learning Community (MULC) process demands studentengagement in a vertically integrated project scheme where student teams in multiple courses inthe curriculum are interacting and utilizing others’ work products during the term.
