We have discussed the challengesof integrating collaborative design into engineering curricula. By implementing the collaborativedesign projects in the teaching of design courses, the students learned how to effectively performcollaborative product design using different techniques and CAD systems in a distributedenvironment and to understand the collaborative nature of product design and related issues.Future work will focus on researching the factors that affect the effectiveness of integratingcollaborative design projects into engineering curricula.

Hackathon EventsAbstractCollaborative hackathons give undergraduate engineering students an opportunity to work insmall teams to solve technical design challenges in a severely constrained time period. Theseevents approximate project-based learning environments by giving students the opportunity tolearn new technical skills through projects of their choosing. Project-based learning classes oftenface problems with class time usage and students having difficulties understanding learningobjectives. Hackathons may provide insight on how to improve the implementation of project-based learning curricula while increasing student interest and engagement.I.

These conflicting definitions potentially hamper the development of a student'sinterdisciplinary competence [24]. Borrego explored and identified five categories of learning outcomesfor interdisciplinary graduate education by comparing literature of interdisciplinary studies with contentanalysis of successful National Science Foundation proposals [25].In summary, research in interdisciplinary collaboration and engineering design are two important areas inthe understanding of how students become proficient at interdisciplinary design.

There are three exercises that involve the architectural engineeringfaculty and structural design issues. The first is an interview session with practicing professionalarchitects and architectural engineers, and the second is a design problem focusing onarchitectural engineering design issues.

While this approach can be used to satisfy the ABET criterion, it tends toisolate experimental design to a single class and focus on the technical aspects of experimentaldesign, such as error propagation, instrument calibration and uncertainty analysis. However,experimental design also requires creative problem solving. The experimentalist must identifythe phenomena to be measured, isolate measurable quantities and decide how the measurementswill be made. In an educational setting, this creative side of experimental design can also be usedto strengthen a student’s understanding of a topic. It requires student to

based on the belief that teaching students how to use the designprocess increases knowledge about technology, develops capabilities in using technology, andexpands cognitive skills and critical thinking capabilities6. There is little doubt that design can bean iterative, systematic and creative problem-solving process that enhances critical thinkingability, knowledge of technical content and understanding of economic and social effects oftechnology, but not all design activities are equal. Some have argued that design as a pedagogicalmethod lacks linguistic simplicity if efforts to enhance capabilities necessary for solvinginnovative problems, as opposed to the routine, are absent from the curriculum7.Different creative capabilities, at the
