upon this premise. Interdisciplinary understanding has been defined as the capacity to integrate knowledge from more than one discipline for cognitive purposes14. According to Kelly14 the advantage of interdisciplinary learning is to create understanding that will have been unlikely through a single discipline. The blurring of disciplinary boundaries, as stated by Burghhardt and Page 22.735.5 Hacker16 and Kelly14 advocates for development of integrated STEM curriculum and is a premise that guides educators in developing an engineering technology degree.Purdue Engineering Technology The field of engineering technology has been well

Having an integrated curriculum could improvetheir motivation to pursue engineering, as demonstrated by Everett et al. [2], due to the emphasisplaced on intrinsic goals and task value. Furthermore, the growth of online learning platforms,especially because of distance learning due to the necessity of the COVID-19 pandemic, surveys,and performance identifiers in a flipped classroom, could be greatly beneficial in encouraginguniversity students to self-regulate their learning and generate ‘self-efficacy’ [8].Understanding the students' learning strategies could benefit

Power system operation, analysis and design need to be formulated in a way that isunderstandable by non-power engineers for better SG development and implementation. To trainprofessionals and students in smart grids, a creative curriculum crossing traditional disciplines isneeded.

thatinterdisciplinary study grants students an increased ability to recognize preconceived biases andconsider alternative viewpoints—an extremely powerful tool when working with ethics [14].Research also demonstrates that interdisciplinarity enhances comfort with ambiguity andimproves critical thinking.[12, 13] Because interdisciplinarity emphasizes integration, it aids in the development ofcreativity: rather than focusing on fixed phenomena within a discipline, interdisciplinarityencourages students to make connections between distinct disciplines. With a focus onconnection-building, as opposed to knowledge acquisition of specific disciplinary skills andpractices, students are pushed to think creatively. Interdisciplinarity encourages interrogation

The overall objective is to determine whether the degree creates a graduate who possesses the skills that the engineering industry is calling for, and to determine if the BA Engineering degree is an acceptable alternative to the BS Engineering degree. The study is ongoing with final results expected later in 2005, therefore this paper only presents preliminary results. The overall study once complete will include results from a recent survey of Lafayette BA Engineering alumni that considers curriculum changes over time as well as gender effects.
