Firstyear discipline-specific experiences can better inform students of the profession, significantlyimprove retention, and grow strong associations of students with their respective engineeringdepartments [5].The use of 3D printing and CAD/simulation technology can be used in design-build-test projectswithin introductory courses to enrich student experiences. It can provide a realistic virtual canvasto explore, more fundamentally, the nature of the engineering design process [6].

IntroductionEach department within our College of Engineering teaches its own section of engineeringeconomy. Engineering economic analysis in practice, however, evaluates projects withcontributions from several different engineering disciplines. In an effort to close the gap betweenthe educational experience and experience in practice, we have developed a project-basedapproach to foster cross-disciplinary interactions between Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE) students and Civil Engineering and Engineering Technology (CE) students during the Fall2013
