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.
