As a result, the research partners also developed a summer program to ensure a smoothtransition between groups of graduating seniors [8].A similar example of an interdisciplinary engineering capstone project was a capstone class thatcombined electrical and computer engineering, industrial and manufacturing engineering, andmechanical engineering programs; the students worked as teams on a common project. Studentswere divided into groups from each of these degrees. Each team worked on the same project andwere responsible for the design, development, and manufacturing of a working robot. At

engineers.They stated that the courses in civil engineering have a heavy structural focus, which neglectswater resources, environmental, and other areas of civil engineering. In addition, prestige wasstated as being associated with mechanical engineering, where graduates could get a job at ‘bigname’ companies.Thus two sources [25], [26] indicate higher prestige associated with mechanical than civilengineering. Prestige was previously found as a motivator for career selection in the study byAkosah Twumasi et al. [20] The idea of prestige is also relevant to how students learned to drawboundaries between “high-status” and “ordinary” jobs [27]. Practices within engineering such aslimited enrollment programs [28], higher GPA for admission [29], or higher

Girls met and worked withengineers, designers, and researchers. During the camp, each girl completed anindependent project. They began by improving existing designs and ended up developingtheir own inventions. Along the way, girls learned about energy transfer through motors,gears and belts; looked at the world through a materials engineer’s eyes; exploredengineering tools such as CAD and statistics; wired electronic

Notre Dame is a private, research university with an undergraduate enrollment of about8000. Admission to the University is “intent blind,” in that is there is no consideration given tothe intended field of study during the admission process. Students are not enrolled in discipline-specific colleges during their first year at Notre Dame but rather in a college called First Year ofStudies. Prior to 2000, those students with an interest in pursuing degree programs in the Collegeof Engineering typically took two-semester course sequences each in calculus

Since the posttest in the associated physics knowledge that was expected to be learned forthe science standards has not been given, there is no empirical data to indicate whether thestudents learned more than they would have in a regular classroom without the roboticsmaterials. Also, only Group I of the three groups was matched with a control group. When asked,the students did agree that science was more fun in a lab setting that allowed social interactionwith group work.

It is noted that an unexpected team dynamic was detected when comparing the Spring 1999UNM-TVI cross-training exercises with the Fall 1999 exercises. Since the Fall 1999 engineeringgroup consisted of graduate-level students (who had considerable hands-on experience due toeither their research work or job experience), the gap in understanding and experience betweentechnicians and engineers was larger than for the Spring 1999 group. Consequently, thetechnicians felt that their engineering counterparts could have been their “instructors”, instead ofan “equal partner” in the
