practitioners haveshown interest in evidenced-based methods of developing student engineers, such asproject-based learning, experiential learning, peer to peer learning, and game-based learning. Thispaper describes an engineering education program that emphasizes technical, professional,creative design skills in our 3rd and 4th year student engineers. This program is continuouslyimproving. Faculty and staff meet each semester to reflect on the prior semester, address studentfeedback, and make specific changes to improve. Learning science tips are weaved into thedynamic program. Motives are pure, but execution can have some challenges. This program’sphilosophy allows faculty to try, get feedback, and pivot. Faculty exemplify iterative design andthe

, and to summarize thecombination model of university path selection. Specifically, the research questions in thisstudy are as follows: (1) What are the core paths of China's new engineering construction? (2) What is the selection model of the "new engineering" construction path for differenttypes of colleges and universities?2. Literature review2.1 The concept of new engineering conceptThe "new" of new engineering construction is reflected in five aspects [4]: (1) The newconcept of engineering education. With the new economy and new industries as thebackground, the new engineering construction needs to establish a new concept ofinnovative, integrated and full-cycle engineering education. (2) The new structure of thediscipline

identifies perceived benefits and challenges for the students engaged in thecompetition. Complementing the report of the team's experience at the 2018 RTZ, this studyemphasizes the importance of teamwork collaboration in the present context of the AEC industrywhile drawing upon concepts of sustainable construction. The study encompasses data collectedfrom: (1) a survey with all the 8 students, (2) interviews with the faculty leader and the studentteam leader, and (3) the reflections of two of the authors of this paper based on their ownexperiences and observations as participants in the 2018 RTZ competition team. Three categoriesemerged from the data and background literature analyzed: teamwork, education and knowledge,skills, and abilities (KSA

several department-specific Comm Labs, 2)Brandeis’s centralized Comm Lab for their Division of Science, and 3) Rose-Hulman’sundergraduate-only centralized Comm Lab for students using a multidisciplinary, co-curricularspace. We then discuss these adaptations with a focus on how our different institutional profilesshape our Comm Lab design. Specifically, we draw connections between institutional data andthe disciplinary focus, scale, and institutional fit of each Comm Lab. We conclude by sharingdata about the Comm Labs’ success, reflecting on the importance of continued data collection,and considering the value of cross-institutional collaboration. Our conclusion reflects both thelimitations of our study and the need for ongoing research. These

the software on exams). Generalcomments about the lecture also reflected that too much material is being covered, the lectureperiods feel rushed, and therefore the exam periods seem too short.Constraints, Challenges, OpportunitiesSome comments from the above section reflect some expected frustrations given the nature ofteaching statistics in a multidisciplinary environment [4]. The breadth of topics covered makes itnecessary to move quickly during lectures and the diversity of the student population makes itdifficult to design examples that will be relevant to all engineering disciplines. There alsoappears to be a lack of engagement with the topic of statistics itself that may stem simply fromthe growth of the lecture sections over the years

the aerospace company at the time of this study wereinterviewed remotely (the researcher and participants are bi-coastally located), and the industrialdesign undergraduate was interviewed in person when they returned to school to resume study.The interview questions and methods were approved by the university Institutional ReviewBoard (ID 18-401). The interviews were conducted 4 months after the summer 2018 internshipprogram concluded.The questions asked were open by design, to encourage the interviewee to reflect on theirexperiences. The questions were categorized as follows: (1) educational background, academicpreparation, and role in the company, (2) communication channels on projects, and (3) thoughtson improvements that could be made to

potential benefitsand challenges of supporting multidiscipline teams in an academic curriculum. Whilemultidisciplinary project-based learning and multidisciplinary service-learning are not new ideas,rarely is the team composition considered in relation to the impacts to student learning andperception.This work examines the experiences of three multidisciplinary, sustainability focused teamsproviding solutions for use and education in communities considered food-deserts. The threeteam structures vary in degree of multidisciplinary composition, one of the EPICSdifferentiators. Students were asked to define multidisciplinary teams and then reflect on theirown team experiences and team compositions. Transcripts of focus group interviews with currentand

reflected in one of the Program Education Objectives (PEOs): Within 3-5 years aftergraduation from the JI, the graduates should be able to apply their creativity and globalperspective in their engineering or non-engineering professions. We use this paper to report tothe community our thoughts, practices, and outcomes of the interdisciplinary engineeringeducation at the JI.Interdisciplinarity in Engineering CurriculaThe curricula of the engineering programs at the JI are enriched with elements beyond technicaltraining. There is a first-year Introduction to Engineering course that allows students to have ataste of engineering in an interesting subject area before they claim a major; the capstone designprojects allow the students to join each other
