Data on theemphasis on interdisciplinarity in the curriculum were collected from engineering faculty andstudents as part of a nationally-representative study of 31 colleges and universities (see Table 1).Survey DevelopmentA team of education and engineering researchers collaborated on the development of the survey-based instruments for engineering students, faculty, and administrators during a rigorous, two-year process. The team conducted an extensive literature review on key topics related tointerdisciplinarity in engineering, but also in fields outside engineering.

on technological topics at a level that is appropriate for non-engineers. However doing so requires appropriate curriculum and course materials. To facilitatethis process, a review was conducted of technological literacy courses already being taught byengineering faculty. It was found that courses can be classified in four categories. These fourgroups are survey courses, focus courses, design courses and connections courses. The surveycourses aim to cover a wide range to technological products, systems, and issues. The focuscourses address a more narrowly defined area such as energy or nanotechnology. The designcourses emphasize developing a familiarity with the engineering design process. Connectionscourses concentrate on the

ABET requirementsstress the importance of engineering students obtaining the ability to design and conductexperiments1. Ideally, this would be accomplished by supplementing each engineering coursewith a co-requisite laboratory. However, the requirements of laboratory courses can oftenexceed the resources of most small departments.At
