Theoretically, there is significant work inthe Information Sciences pointing to the role of information seeking in the learning process. Thisliterature although pertinent is often overlooked when learning is examined within moreestablished and formal setting. We also wanted to take an information seeking perspective giventhe significant role that technology, especially the Internet and search, plays in the learningprocess now. Scholars are increasingly pointing to information seeking as a way to examinelearning because in many situations learning begins with information seeking – it is motivated bythe need to know something

Further, multidisciplinary courses can address two mainABET program outcome criteria: 3d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams, and 3g)an ability to communicate effectively.3Designing and teaching a multidisciplinary course can be challenging for many reasons. Theprimary and most obvious challenge is the difference in the technical background of the students.This is not just a challenge in a lecture, but also when students are working on projects withgroup members from different backgrounds and need to communicate with one another. Asecondary challenge is the variety of learning styles

The course structure encourages students to viewcontemporary issues from an organizational, personal and technical perspective. The presence ofboth engineering students and liberal arts students in the same class allows students to shareknowledge and break down stereotypes as they study accomplishments in the fields ofengineering and science.Introduction The practice of engineering is not conducted in a vacuum.

Students from engineeringhave cited these persistent subtle negative statements and behaviors, or microaggressions, asreasons for considering leaving engineering programs or the university entirely. Previousmeasures of microaggressions have not been designed to capture the unique experiences ofminorities within the engineering environment.PurposeThis research differs from previous work because it incorporates an intersectional perspective byacknowledging microaggressions are not experienced universally for individuals within allgroups or institutions (Crenshaw et al. 1993; Wilkins 2012
