AB  - At its core, STEM research is a collaborative endeavor. Similarly, one can expect interdisciplinary coordination in STEM teaching to be fruitful. A recent NSF S-STEM grant has enabled us to develop and implement at Penn State Abington integrated courses that span topics in math, physics, and engineering. 
Even though calculus is a prerequisite for physics at the majority of US undergraduate institutions, many students do not maintain the essential math skills, which undermines their success in physics. It's interesting to note that in recent years, we have begun to hear concerns from engineering majors who dislike having to take math classes that are required by engineering curriculum. The math and engineering professors could find this unreasonable. It is logical, though, given that math is typically taught to students as an abstract discipline, and they need to comprehend how it will benefit them in their future employment as engineers. As a possible solution to the problem, we embarked on creating an Integrated Curriculum starting with two pairs of courses: Calculus I + Physics I (Mechanics) and Physics 2 (E&M) + Electrical Engineering (Circuits and Devices). We will give a general overview of this initiative in this presentation, outlining its rationale and potential difficulties with integrated curriculum. 
In this presentation, we will discuss the conditions that could enable co-teaching to effectively shift teaching practices and the challenges of co-teaching from an instructor’s point of view. We will also discuss the survey data gathered from the students every two weeks on their opinions of these integrated courses. It is our hope that not only will instructors who are new to or considering co-teaching learn about the practice and ideas for getting started, but instructors who have already tried co-teaching will delve into the research supporting the practice and adjust their approaches based on our experiences.
