seniordesign projects. Additionally, most industrial engineers have experience interacting with otherengineers earlier in their academic career through common engineering courses. However,interaction with business students rarely occurs before the senior year, if then. This deficiencyprevents the development of a key skill required for industrial engineering practice. This paper describes two innovative approaches to experientially teach multidisciplinaryproblem solving to teams of engineering and business students. Both approaches allow theinteractions to occur earlier in the curriculum. The first approach is through class partnering.Such partnering emulates more long term interdisciplinary efforts such as design teams andconfiguration

The next 10 questions of the survey are based on the Participant Perception Indicator(PPI) survey developed at the University of Michigan.5 It asks students to report on their self-perceived mastery of specific learning objectives across three dimensions: knowledge (cognitivedomain), experience (behavior domain), and confidence (affective domain). The format of thesurvey is explained to students with the following example: Application of Knowledge The following questions have been designed to measure your perception of your knowledge, experience, and confidence on various items. With each statement are three indicators of your involvement. For each of the questions indicate how you feel about your knowledge

for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition. .ConclusionA laboratory demonstration of satellite attitude determination, dynamics, and control has beensuccessfully achieved with the SIMSAT platform at the Air Force Institute of Technology. Thisplatform has tremendous potential to remedy the lack of hands-on experience that is inherent inthe study of spacecraft dynamics and control. Using SIMSAT in the classroom is aimed atproviding a more stimulating learning experience and making a more direct connection betweenthe theory of the classroom and actual practice. SIMSAT also has potential researchapplications, such as demonstrating new advances in attitude control theory and investigatingcomplicated dynamical behavior such as

A third viewpoint is that "close" students are actually distance students mostof the time, since even they should do most of their learning outside of the classroom; this modelhas the advantage of encouraging lifelong learning.

The vital point hereis that the students need to be ‘active’ participants in the process of learning. Significant numberof studies have shown that active learning pedagogy can successfully enhance student learning [2- 9]. Activities, such as laboratory work, have been shown to offer significant gains in learningoutcomes across various disciplines. These activities involve hands-on experiences that allowstudents to formulate hypotheses, collect data through experiments, and

The junior year is also keyin the transition from novice to expert when students receive the last of their technicalpreparations before their senior capstone design courses. The use of common industry simulationsoftware also increases course diversity and helps to push students into higher levels ofdevelopment such as early or higher multiplicity. In Perry’s theory of development, this refers towhen students admit that multiple answers are possible and instructors might not know theanswer (a common experience in capstone design courses).25Previous work done in the Fall of 2015 on the orbital mechanics class found that students whoperform better on questions
