AbstractThis paper explores an innovative cross-disciplinary project conducted at the University of Texas atSan Antonio, which integrated students from Engineering core class "Introduction to MaterialsScience and Engineering" and English core class "Shakespeare: The Later Plays" into a collaborativelearning experience. The project aimed to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world application by pairing Engineering and English students to design and learn 3D printing tofabricate stage props and models based on Shakespearean plays. This hands-on project requiredstudents to transcend their disciplinary boundaries and engage in a real-world "designer/client –technical provider" interaction. This paper evaluates the impact of this

They learned the problems they will face once they startworking, like the time it takes for the concrete to set and dry, and how the materials, like wood orcardboard (which some groups used, as it was a scale model), can sometimes stick to the concreteand cause delays in the work. The application of practical projects in classes teaches civil engineering students how todeal with problems they will face in the real world. But there were areas that have to be madequestions to measure and see is the spectrum cand get wider on what other areas are involved andhow they can be tested.
