engineering technology program should be aligned with needs of the industry.Indeed, this was the primary motivating force urging the authors to collaborate and conceive aninterdisciplinary project. Simultaneous engineering has been used interchangeably with other terms such asintegrated product and process design (IPPD), collaborative engineering, and concurrentengineering. The phrase simultaneous engineering was adopted to describe the core of thisproject because it is arguably a more popular descriptive approach to better contrast the paradigmof the sequential engineering model that business and industry desired to replace during the pasttwo decades. In addition, newer terms such as IPPD and collaborative engineering representedmuch smaller

2,000-acre tract known as the Texas A&M University Riverside Campuswas transferred to The Texas A&M System. In May 2016, the System announced an initiative totransform the campus into a premier, high-tech research, technology development, and educationcenter, and to rename it the RELLIS Campus. RELLIS has five focal areas: an academic campus,a historic campus, a full-scale testing site, secure industry laboratories, and joint researchfacilities. These thematic areas are shown in Figure 1.

These Regional Indo-US Faculty Institutes will foster collaborative networks and exchanges through course offerings for engineering faculty. The resulting networks are expected to lead to mutual benefits to India and to the US, including global experiences for faculty and students, collaborative research, development and entrepreneurship in technologies of global relevance, as well as access for US and Indian universities and companies to more and better prepared engineering graduates. An Indo US Engineering Faculty Leadership Institute is planned for the

The differences ensure that the instructional materials arepiloted with diverse student populations.2.1 The CollaboratorsThe faculty on the project represent two disciplines: civil engineering and applied linguistics.The engineering faculty know the context of the students, courses, and programs. The lead civilengineering faculty member at each university also has previous industry experience, but someother collaborating faculty do not. The applied linguists, including the coordinator of the project,provide expertise in language research and the teaching of writing. Most engineers – even if theyare proficient writers themselves – do not have the conscious knowledge or even the vocabularyto describe their writing

interdisciplinary are very unlikely to be awarded to researchers working inisolation and are most likely to be given to Group 2 awardees. However, Group 2 has less oftenstudied problem spaces in industrial and electrical than other groups. Topics about degree areprone to be examined by Group 2 and Group 3, whereas experience is favored by Group 1 andGroup 4. There are also areas that do not demonstrate a clear pattern: REU, mentoring,manufacturing, hands-on, and module.4.3 ImplicationsThe results in Section 4.1 are consistent with a prior study conducted by Borrego7, who arguedthat many ENE researchers were working in isolation. Our finding also shows that about 25% ofNSF awardees working in ENE have no or only one collaborator on NSF proposals. However
