The term project provides an organizing purpose for thepresentation of more conventional digital electronics material earlier in the course.Introduction A notable trend in engineering education in recent years is the growth in interdisciplinarydegree programs which draw upon a variety of traditional “core” disciplines such as electricaland mechanical engineering. Programs such as biomedical engineering and manufacturingengineering currently account for a growing fraction of the total undergraduate engineeringenrollment at many schools. For this reason, there is an increasing need for educationalapproaches that convey the essence of a traditional discipline to students who are not majors inthat discipline. This paper

Thequestionnaire itself asks students to think about interdisciplinary and non-interdisciplinaryengineering projects. Students’ responses to the questionnaire were analyzed using the opencoding method of grounded theory to identify emerging themes or categories within theresponses.

Instead, thedeliverables may be simulations, facility layouts, procedural modifications, databases, or otherprocesses or products less tangible than a physical prototype.

For the present work, this same evaluation scheme was applied to theIndustrial Engineering projects presented during the past seven years. The
