Page 25.830.2There are few published research studies dealing with this intersection ofinterdisciplinary teaming, design, and engineering education where students fromdisciplines other than engineering are involved. Industry studies show thatinterdisciplinary teaming processes do not necessarily mirror traditional engineeringdesign models.

In the designed modules, scaffolding is initially provided through worked out examples and laterthrough immediate explanatory program feedback that is presented to students on each step of theirproblem solving practice.

who fail in their engineering studies may attributethe failures to their lack of ability to learn engineering rather than to use cognitive strategieseffectively. These students may eventually decide to quit from engineering programs due to theirfrustrations from setbacks. Thus, there is a need for engineering faculty to adopt an integrativeinstruction that can help students to develop cognitive skills and effectively regulate theirlearning efforts during the learning and problem-solving processes.

Most of this is a combination of generic andtechnical skills, as in the example given above. The generic skills can be taught (health andsafety, communication, meeting skills etc). However, some know-how is difficult to learnbecause of the nature of the material. Some technical knowledge is minute in detail and vast inquantity, for example, knowledge of components and materials; intrinsic properties ofcomponents and materials; applications; performance properties, particularly in combinationwith other components and materials; where to
