Our pedagogical aim is to provide the technical knowledge andskills to either practice or pursue advanced studies in the field. Our curriculum shares a highdegree of commonality with the other UM engineering departments in the first two years ofstudy. In the last two years of study, our students take their major courses which range fromfluid mechanics and fire dynamics to hazard analysis.

more interdisciplinary, there is a desire toincorporate such themes into the undergraduate curriculum, specifically by offeringinterdisciplinary capstone design experiences to senior-level students. At Rice University, facultyresponsible for capstone design have found it increasingly challenging to make such experiencesbeneficial to students, since much knowledge needs to be gained at the intersections of thedisciplines. This must usually occur throughout the design process and is specific to a givenproject. The result has historically been “division of labor”, where students more comfortablewith given aspects of a project take ownership of those portions, while the other students aretypically unwilling to acquire the “new” knowledge related
