This recently adopted trajectory accurately reflects therealities of the twenty-first-century: any sustainable solution to the problems humanity is currentlyfacing requires an integrated and interactive mix of sciences, engineering, social sciences, andhumanities2. As a result, modern education needs to prepare future scientists and engineers to not onlyexplore the boundaries within their own disciplines, but to also understand the basics of other fields.The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) acknowledges the importance ofmultidisciplinary education and explicitly supports it3.

While the legacy science and engineering curriculum model has produced the talentbasefor tremendous technological advances through the 20th century, many engineering education leaders haverecently amplified calls for a transformation of engineering education to embrace complex systemsthinking, transdisciplinary collaboration, communication, and social impact(6), producing “a whole newengineer”(7).

Research shows that since 1990 employment in STEM fields has grown79% while overall employment has only grown 34%. Additionally, as of 2016, 13% ofemployed adults (ages 25+) in the United States are in STEM occupations. However, there hasnot been equal growth in all STEM disciplines and minorities are still underrepresented. For thepast three summers, we have been offering a two-week STEM-summer

The upside of these methods was that all team members had access to the raw dataimmediately after lab period (in the case of the photocopy method) or after the instructor postedthe data to the course web folder (which could take from several minutes to the next day). Thedownside was that the individual team data needed to be tediously hyperlinked by the courseinstructor, who also happened to be the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department’sWebmaster, on a case-by-case basis, which on several occasions led to delays in raw dataavailability to the student
