This program’s curriculum focuses on developing a student’s knowledge and skills that addressboth component level design and systems integration. This interdisciplinary program is a crosscollaboration between the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Systems Engineering (SIE) andMechanical Engineering (MAE) departments. Its three year curriculum fosters a learning environment inwhich electrical, computer, systems and mechanical

Sensors, actuators, andprocessors are now ubiquitous components in design, which has led to the rise of mechatronicsengineering and subsequent curriculum changes in conventional disciplines such as mechanicalengineering.

make curricular connections between the liberal arts and engineeringeducation. In many cases, multiple faculty members from different disciplines create and co-teach courses, which may take substantial time and effort for faculty to sit together to design thecurriculum. On the other hand, faculty members might be fiercely proud of their disciplines.They may resist an integrated curriculum that devalues their own discipline while elevatinganother [2]. No matter what the course is, faculty members should be devoted to creating aneffective learning environment and then ensure students achieve designed learning outcomes.Thus, understanding students’ motivation for learning is one of the prime factors that contributeto achieving the goal which is

The PRIDE program willprovide integrative curricular modules to bring photonics from the world of research to undergraduatecore courses, to elective course laboratories, and to our capstone design course. Our focus is on advancedundergraduate experiences, but early graduate curricula overlap through the specialized electives, andwould also be served. Integrating photonics modules into existing curricula, rather than building specializedcourses, will demonstrate a different model of curriculum development.

In addition,the students were challenged to incorporate the ideas of parametrics and modularity into thevehicle design. The organization of the project was similar to that of GM, with BYU acting asthe vehicle integrator, Virginia Tech acting as the power train integrator, and all others schoolsworking on specific parts of the vehicle.

Creativity or creative thinking has been largely absent or unsupported in the standardengineering curriculum, let alone research training programs, due to a number of factors,including faculty’s lack of knowledge of how to properly teach creativity and creative thinkingand how to integrate such teaching into the existing curriculum [5, 28-31].

Researchers have worked to identify predictors of STEM persistence,both before matriculation and after. A student’s level of academic success before matriculation isa strong predictor of STEM persistence. These predictors include standardized test scores andtaking calculus in high school [9], [10].Research has found that, after matriculation, a student’s likelihood to complete an undergraduatedegree was linked to a student’s level of academic and social integration.

Page 26.1038.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Investigating Pattern in Design Performance of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Engineering Student TeamsINTRODUCTIONOver the last 5 decades, the average engineering curriculum has largely been based on an “engineeringscience” model in which the analytical and mathematical elements of engineering are strictly of focus [1].This implies that all challenges faced in engineering can be condensed and modeled as solvable mathequations. This model, however, poses a threat to the current methods of engineering practice by givingthe notion that all serious engineering is done in the language of mathematics [2]. While the
