About YouSection I asked students to rate the positive effect or benefit of each program element (e.g.,lectures, hands-on training, professional development workshops). The rating options were “no,”“low,” “medium,” or “high” benefit/impact with a fifth option of “NA or don’t recall.” Section IIwas designed to assess the different types of positive impacts a training program
ComponentBased on these results, we decided to add another component to the peer evaluations and anothercomponent to the grade awarded by course faculty and project mentors. In addition to asking thestudents to grade each other, we asked them to provide support for the grades they awardedwhich would be provided to the other students anonymously. We did this by asking them toprovide for each other member of the team two strengths and one area for potentialimprovement. If they awarded a grade lower than B (82) to a fellow student they wereencouraged to provide additional areas for improvement. We also asked them to consider areasbeyond technical competence. For course faculty and mentors, we asked them to provide a gradeat each review period to describe
reservations about working on amultidisciplinary team and had, in fact, gained appreciation for advantages to problem-solving,design quality, and the acquisition of skills in other disciplines. A spirit of friendly competitionbetween disciplines remained, however, as one student remarked that the best thing about themultidisciplinary course was “making fun of the other discipline through showing the best of ourdiscipline.”At mid-term, the students were asked to identify advantages and disadvantages of working onmultidisciplinary teams. The tables below illustrate their responses. A. What is the best thing about working in multidisciplinary teams? B. What have you learned from a teammate in another discipline? C.

The STL file is used in additivemanufacturing to create the 2D cross-sections that are used to produce a 3D solid. Using a mathematical model for a hemisphere, we produced a tactile visual aid with 3Dprinting, as shown in Figure 5.

This frameworkdescribes optics education as an alignment of multidisciplinary perspectives for developing aninterdisciplinary field. Interviews were conducted with seven department chairs or otherrepresentatives of the programs to add additional depth and perspective about the programs’establishment as well as understanding the current status of the departments.II.

For those students who werecompleting their tasks, suggestions as to how to develop a "Plan B" for non-responsive teammates, time management strategies, etc. were discussed. Teammembers that were not fulfilling their responsibilities were informed what gradehe/she earned and how his/her inactions impacted the rest of the team.Design modifications and summer activitiesThe first task of the summer session for the engineering students was theevaluation of the tasks completed during the previous spring, the proposedsummer timeline, and the 'condition' of the hand off plan.
