American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Holistic Engineering: A Concept Exploration in a Cross- Disciplinary Project Course ExperienceAbstractHolistic engineering is an approach to the engineering profession, rather than an engineeringdiscipline such as civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering. It is inspired by the realization thattraditional engineering does not adequately harness professional skills in its problem-solvingrepertoire. Holistic engineering asks engineers to look outward, beyond the fields of math andscience, in search of solutions to entire problems. While engineering graduates are well preparedin the technical aspects of the engineering

In the project, students mathematically modeled the thermal dynamics of a glass incubatorand its heat source. Based on these models, they designed a lag compensator to keep the incuba-tor temperature in a safe range when the external temperature fluctuates.
