microstructure fabrication involves a wide array of disciplines, fromcondensed matter physics, materials science, and electrochemistry to niche subfields such aselectron microscopy. The integrative nature of microelectronics has been emphasized since the1970s, with governmental funding for interdisciplinary research centers being especially notable.Prevailing the engineering science landscape, it is undeniable that developing advancedcomputer chips requires cross-discipline collaboration, technical support and communication. Aswe have previously shown in [2], interdisciplinarity can be practiced in the classroom, givingstudents a head start on professional development and career choice.

purpose of theSOAR program assessment was to examine the program during the summer of 2021 and gain adeeper understanding of the intern’s experiences. Specifically, the goals were to: 1. Understand intern perceptions of the program and what sets SOAR apart as a program. 2. Explore intern’s learning experiences in the SOAR program. 3. Provide recommendations for future assessment.To address these goals, this paper focuses on two major results and describes areas of futureinquiry. In Section 4, we focus on intern’s perceptions of the SOAR program which includes(4.1) why student’s chose SOAR and (4.2) how interns described the program to inform futurerecruitment efforts as assessed through interview and focus group data.

Development of the engineering workforce to meet the demands of an increasingly global industry includes skills beyond the mastering of the technical content. In this project, we connected groups from Clemson University (CU) in the US and ITESO Guadalajara in Mexico in a 9-week project to engineer a process to manufacture a commemorative Tequila bottle. Wepicked a Tequila bottle to emphasize its cultural background, degree of spread around the world, and familiarity to the students. All activities were online, and the project was framed as COIL.The course in CU, of 34 mechanical engineering majors, was Manufacturing
