Multidisciplinary Engineering Student ProjectsAbstractThe role of the engineer in today’s world is changing and expanding. Buildings and roads arebecoming “smart”, construction equipment communicates with satellites thousands of milesaway while moving soil, surveyors now use lasers instead of tape measures, and the list goes on.The line between engineering disciplines still exists, but is growing faint and less defined. TheCivil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering programs are attempting to find ways to bring thedisciplines together on student projects. Part of the challenge of cross disciplinary projects isovercoming the fear of the lack of understanding of what other engineers actually do. Bybringing students from multiple disciplines together on a
