On the one hand, K-WIDE operates outside of curricular require-ments, in a similar manner to design competitions, business pitches, start-up weekends and othersuch student opportunities 31 . On the other hand, the end goal of K-WIDE is not a product butpersonal growth and learning. This aspect is more similar to a formal curriculum, and as a resultthere is a significant degree of guidance and instruction from the instructors.3 K-WIDE

How did you integrate this interdisciplinary knowledge with the knowledge of your discipline (in this case Mechanical Engineering) ? 3. How did this interdisciplinary knowledge impact the success of your overall project solution?Survey responses obtained from one of the students on the team clearly indicated that inclusionof an interdisciplinary project had a positive impact on his learning experience for the course. Inresponse to the first question he stated that in working on a mechanical project that would beinstalled in a nuclear power plant, several nuclear

program begins in thesummer semester and completes in the spring with students being off campus for the fall.The program is multidisciplinary in nature drawing from mechanical, electrical and computerengineering curriculums. When this program began, there were more electrical and computerengineers than mechanical. However, in recent years this ratio is typically 50-70% mechanicalengineers and a mixture of electrical and computer engineers. The computer and electricalengineers tend to gravitate toward working on control and electronic issues while the mechanicalengineers focus on aircraft design, aerodynamics and experimentation. For the multispectralanalysis there is usually an equal mix from both groups.While the traditional capstone design

Considerations of intention and purpose in natural science have recently beendisallowed, and yet our world seems to be infused with purpose.

Representations are also important in education in both math andchemistry [9] and have been shown to relate to how well engineering students can create models[10]. At a more fundamental level representations are integral to engineering design and help todistinguish engineering from science.

The importance of integrating both globalization and social needsinto the engineering curriculum is acknowledged by the ABET criteria5, and human need is aclear priority of the engineering profession, as indicated in the NSPE creed*,6.

Thoughuniversities currently exhibit full design cycles across a variety of courses spread out in differentsemesters, it could be of major benefit for universities to integrate student extracurricular designteams as a part of the engineering curriculum. The ingrained collaboration required in designteams, as well as the cross-disciplinary interaction of students, academic mentors/advisors andindustry sponsors, is the most realistic analogue to the full end-to-end design cycle currentlypresent in an academic setting.

The femaleusers were introduced to the space through both friends and class, and given that the intervieweeswere split 50/50 with seeking out hands-on making activities upon starting their undergraduate,this reaffirms that initial motivation does not impact involvement in the space as strongly as beingpresented an initial opportunity to use the space.

courses are designed with theopposing goal of providing as uniform of an experience as possible to all students. Due tothis fundamental difference, that some courses aim to provide a uniform experience forall students while others embrace a range of experiences for individual students, the sameevaluation framework cannot be applied to both types of courses.While an evaluation framework for a course with minimal variation between studentexperiences can assume that each student receives the same "treatment," the effect ofdifferences between individual student experiences must be integrated into an evaluationframework for a capstone course within which there is a large range of individualexperiences. In this paper, an assessment framework is
