AB  - Many US institutions have adopted the First Year Engineering (FYE) program model in which students majoring in engineering and computer sciences study in the same classroom for a year.  The FYE program facilitates the transitions between majors for undecided students and aims to promote collaboration among peers in their introductory courses. These interdisciplinary interactions are unfortunately often limited as students move to upper-class courses. In the Paducah Campus at the University of Kentucky we identified an additional opportunity for a collaborative course in Fluid Mechanics. The fluid mechanics course is taken by both chemical engineers (ChE) and mechanical engineers (ME). In the past years, we revealed that combining cohorts of students is not ideal as the emphasis given in the course can be different from one major to another. We hypothesize that collaboration on certain dates and specific assignments, however, could enhance the perception of multidisciplinary collaboration which is common in the workplace. This project aims to develop and sustain this collaboration between lecturers from mechanical and chemical engineering. The project consists of 1) a one-time lecture on a topic of interest to either the ME or CME professor to the opposite major group; 2) collaboration in projects and assignments in fluid mechanics. We have applied the proposed changes in the Fall of 2023 and will compare it to the data collected prior to any interaction to those after the interaction. Concept maps were used as an assessment tool to determine how much of the multidisciplinary collaboration among concepts and the different interactions with other majors broadened the map.
