creative thinking and problemsolving skills are put to the test (Kotche & Tharp, 2015). ***Interdisciplinary activities arebecoming more common in engineering curricula because they tend to emphasize many of theprofessional competencies deemed by industry as being valuable to engineering graduates (Kumiet al., 2024).This article highlights student feedback regarding the lessons learned during our recent seniorcapstone project in a mechanical engineering program at an unnamed university in the RockyMountain (RMU) region of the United States. This project was unique due to the implementationof 1) a clear client-customer relationship, 2) the client was a member of a non-engineeringdepartment at RMU, and 3) the project involved interdisciplinary

If the course is required for an ETdegree (as it is in most cases), it can effectively serve as a barrier to successful completion oftheir chosen program of study in the same way a moat encircles a castle. A teaching institutionwhich does not provide a reasonable transition to the material in its introductory courses risksalienating a sizeable portion of its potential enrollment. When students can’t climb the castlewalls, a drawbridge across the moat should be offered to provide the access they require.Struggling students will endure an additional setback.

Further evidence that a shift in education methodsis needed can be attributed to the fact that once students enter the workforce they will be requiredto become productive with new tools for design in a very short time as technologicaladvancements continue to change the manner in which they work.
