Finally, in open-ended questions, students were asked about the“best” part of the program and what improvements could be made.AnalysesOf the 49 students who participated, 46 took the content knowledge exam before and after thecamp. The exam provided scores in three content knowledge categories: (1) vocabulary, (2)problem solving, and (3) technical skill. Of the students in the camp, 48 completed the self-efficacy survey before and after the camp. (One student completed the self-efficacy surveybefore the camp, but not after the camp.)

The key to thisredistribution is the fact that the most of the activity in the class centers on the studentteams. As described in the earlier paper1, each team has • a “client”, boss or sponsor who is responsible for providing support (material, space, personnel and financial) for the project and information related to the background and needs. • a faculty advisor who is a technical consultant, and • a facilitator (one of the course instructors) who monitors the team activities and provides advice as needed (and fills in for the client and/or the advisor should the need arise).As noted each instructor becomes the

Challenges and approaches to overcome them include 1)proceeding with projects where technical expectations exceed course content by applying Just-In-Time Learning, 2) overcoming apparent differences between design approaches inengineering and other academic fields by incorporating an interdisciplinary lexicon intoengineering courses, 3) using protocols for work presentation borrowed from other disciplinesthus allowing for effective team work, and 4) coordinating interdisciplinary team work sessionsand meetings with faculty and sponsors through deliberate course co-scheduling and classroomflipping.2014-2015 is the first academic year in which all these techniques have been analyzed inengineering courses on

From one month to the next, I entered a field where positivism was alive and well;rationality and “technical” work were the gold standards, leadership was marked by an invertedsocial hierarchy promoting women “up and out,”[6]; and industry partners functioned as a keysource of research funding.

When it comes to the labs, it is up to the instructor tocreate whatever project he/she would like to do, with the only stipulation that the project mustbe able to have concepts from multiple engineering disciplines. This leads to a large variety ofexperiences between classes, with semester long projects such as Facial Recognition, BiofuelSynthesis from Restaurant Oil, Coffee Maker Design Analysis, Flood Mitigation Simulations,and Wind Turbine Design [1]. A common problem arising from this style of collaborativeproject work is that students who are enrolled in an engineering discipline not directly relatedto the project (i.e. “Out-of-Discipline”) tend to lose interest and in turn not gain as muchexperience as those who feel they would use
