Fostering the development of such a uniqueexperience within the traditional engineering education paradigm has been a trying process. Themany challenges have ranged from organizational, to technical, and even interpersonal. Yet, theoutcomes so far have been greatly rewarding both educationally and professionally, and haveshown great promise for accomplishing the goals of the project.2.

One purpose of this collaborative REU-RET approach is toestablish a strong outreach program at USC that enables undergraduates and urban teachers toboth understand and fully participate in potentially world changing research that offers solutionsfor seemingly unsolvable problems in engineering and medicine. Two essential strengths of the REU-RET collaborative program are the fact that it hasattracted non-traditional engineering students into engineering research and it has made urbanteachers aware of the importance of embedding this research in their classroom curriculum.Students from all backgrounds readily understand the importance of developing advancedbiomedical technologies to

. Engineering graduates are expected to contributeeffectively as members of multidisciplinary engineering design teams. Enabling this successrequires that engineering design educators develop an understanding of the diverse disciplinaryperspectives on engineering design and of the evolving perspectives of their students.This paper first describes the disciplinary perspectives that emerged as a result of somepreliminary research on engineering design education, and then describes the development of aninstrument for evaluating individual understandings of engineering design. Disciplinaryperspectives were explored through interviewing the instructors of four capstone design coursesin different engineering disciplines within a large engineering Faculty

Consequently, it is possible to question undergraduate architecturecourses and whether they are properly preparing students for their professional performance.Similarly, it is required for architecture students to develop academic skills. Academic skillshave an interdisciplinary characteristic. Nevertheless, architecture students need them due tothe nature of their career which cannot be completely classified as an art or science subject.Even though design it at the center of their focus, it is linked to plastic and technical aspects,which conform architecture.
