Assessing teaming skills and major identity through collaborative sophomore design projects across disciplinesAbstractCollaboration and student projects than span multiple departments are often seen as too difficultto pursue due to administrative, topical, or other logistics related barriers. This projectdemonstrates an approach at introducing true interdisciplinary design projects within asophomore level materials and energy balances courses in both Bioengineering and ChemicalEngineering programs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Engineering curriculahave been focused on integrating design in the freshman and senior years but often fail tointegrate projects into the sophomore and junior year courses. The study

. Production of steel Full material and energy balances in production of steels.Problem-solving focused tutorials provided the context for much of the student learning.Academic consultations, outside timetabled classes, provided further context for studentlearning. Tutorial problems were generally based on case studies such as fuel comparisons interms of economics, energy intensities and carbon footprint, or glass bottles design for thefermentation of sparkling wines. Other problems were derived from topics on health, wastewater treatment, mineral and food industries. Areas of knowledge, both in fundamental Page 14.466.5sciences and engineering
