curricular content makes a difference in shaping the beliefs and expectationsstudents hold as they transition into their professional careers. Such an assumption is warrantedgiven the way other topics appear in the curriculum. For example, if an emphasis on teamworkand problem-solving were not perceived as relevant to professional practice, then one would notexpect them to receive as much attention as they do4,5. Similarly, engineering ethics is anothersuch pivotal topic, and therefore one would expect it to appear in undergraduate courses. Yet,this is not uniformly the case.

Many of our graduates may go on to do things other than technicalwork, but that is all right, and in fact should even be encouraged, because we need lawyers,economists, doctors, financiers, and others with engineering background - Marshall Lih,Director of the National Science Foundation’s Division of Engineering Education and Centers 3.In the U.S. liberal studies in the form of courses in the humanities, social sciences and scienceshave been an integral part of engineering education.

In such situations, the problems students are trained to solve tend to be confined within the respective discipline. For example, ME students might have difficulty identifying the stress-related issue in an interconnect with an IC chip, even though they have the skill to conduct stress analysis in a composite beam. This course was designed to provide students with unfamiliar cross-disciplinary problems in microelectronics reliability, requiring them to identify prior knowledge within their discipline for technical judgement and analysis.• Interdisciplinary teamwork
