growing interest and importance in interdisciplinary and team relatedinteraction in both academia and industry, it seems prudent to establish a model fortraining undergraduates in such environments. The program outlined here beingconducted by Northwestern University's Civil Engineering Department in conjunctionwith the National Science Foundation Center for Science and Technology of AdvancedCement-Based Materials (ACBM) is an on-going case study in interdisciplinary researchwith undergraduates. The following report summarizes objectives, design and results ofthe first year of the program’s activities.Project Overview and ExpectationsResearchers in industry and academia do not work in a vacuum devoid of interactionbetween their colleagues.

The recruitment effort includes a five Saturday science and engineering project during the regular semesters and summer bridge projects, as well as a series of other activities. Undergraduate student mentors help, our laboratory technicians and the department chairs are essential to making these efforts successful. The URI student societies of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) have been invaluable in this recruitment program.

component of engineering education is helping students understand how the informationof a given class is applied to the current technology and applications of that field. In addition, it isalso critical for students to understand the broader impacts of a product during the design,manufacturing, and useful life stages as well as how the materials are disposed of, recycled, or re-used afterwards. One method of helping students achieve this insight is through the use ofmarketing-based presentations in which groups of students present competing technologies.This paper will describe such presentations that encourage students to explore both the technicaldetails of a product as well as the economic, environmental, and societal impacts in order toconvince
