engineering andcomputer science students for these emerging, interdisciplinary challenges, new experientiallearning mechanisms must be developed that educate undergraduates in topics at the intersectionof autonomy and cybersecurity. In addition to technical challenges, the COVID-19 pandemicchanged the way many teams develop their solutions, as collaborators were required to workfrom separate geographic locations. To be effective team members, the experiential learningexperience needs to build their remote collaboration skills.This paper presents the structure, objectives, and qualitative evaluation of a pilot cross-institution, interdisciplinary experiential learning program. The goals of this work were 1) toestablish a framework and process that

quality of vibration data © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023collected and therefore the effectiveness of vibration analysis is highly dependent on theproximity of the accelerometer sensor to the location of interest. However, in aerospaceapplications of rotary machinery, optimal sensor placement is often not possible, creating uniquechallenges for vibration analysis. (e.g., difficulty of large and sophisticated hardware placement)which are not commonly present in other applications.Using a Project-Based Learning (PBL) course as a vehicle, and in collaboration with Boeing andtheir Subject Matter Expert (SME), a project was proposed to address the challenges encounteredwith vibration analysis in the

During those two weeks faculty © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Southeast Section Conferenceand community partners (“customers”) were invited to attend the workshops and pitch theirproblems or projects. There were over 25 projects or problems pitched to the summer students.Students were often curious about those problems and brainstormed solutions during the pitches.By the end of the second week each student had an individual interview with a faculty mentor todiscuss their strengths and weaknesses in relationship to the projects pitched. Students wereasked what their “favorite” 5 projects were and asked to describe
