The course has also recently expanded to includestudents from a second university as well as online distance students that span four time-zones.Adding students from a variety of locations and disciplines has increased diversity among thestudents’ educational backgrounds and interests (both as undergraduates and graduates). Thediversity of the students’ skills and knowledge fosters multidisciplinary collaboration within thecourse itself and enhances innovative problem solving as each student can offer their ownresources and expertise to the class.In this model, each student is responsible for proposing a potential team

These institutions can also supply the contentexpertise needed by programs that prepare new teachers of K–12 engineering.

sets and disciplines outside engineering areas [1]. This new breed ofengineers needs to be not only a problem solver but also a problem definer, leadingmultidisciplinary teams of professionals in setting agendas and fostering innovation [1], [2]. Toaddress these challenges, there has been a call to increase the number of engineers [3]. Anemphasis has also been placed on broadening undergraduate engineering experiences toencourage the study of socio-economic context and to engage in collaborative andinterdisciplinary education with students and faculty from other disciplines. Conversely, withinthe social sciences and humanities, there has been a growing interest in encouraging a betterunderstanding of the technical aspects of science and
quality, andhaving relevant knowledge, skills and abilities. The gain in the teamwork effectiveness did notdiffer across majors, with both UES and PST showing similar gains. A noticeable positiveincrease in student attitudes towards the task was also observed between the midway and the endof the project. Findings from this study provide some preliminary evidence that an innovativeinterdisciplinary service learning experience partnering engineering and education students wasconducive to the development of teamwork skills.Keywords: teamwork skills, service learning, interdisciplinary teams 1.

key principles ofthe Highlander Center are to identify root causes of issues, and work on these systemic issues inconsistent and generative ways instead of focusing on problems (e.g., not enough women inengineering). The outcome of this shift is that instead of focusing on getting more womenacclimated to the system of engineering education and practice, we can identify the root cause ofsexism, and ask what measures could be taken to combat sexism in the world of engineeringeducation and practice. This framing clearly would connect us to others working on issues ofsexism in engineering and in other contexts, with whom we could learn and collaborate.
