Striking a Balance: Bringing Engineering Disciplines Together for a Senior Design Sequence
Abstract
An interdisciplinary design curriculum introduced at the University of Missouri-Rolla, to teach core engineering design skills across departmental line is discussed. The curriculum simultaneously utilize individual engineering disciplines within systems-level design courses. The format of the curriculum is a two-semester senior year sequence. The interdisciplinary design curriculum pushes design education to more accurately reflect current engineering design practice in today's technological workplace. The key benefit of the course is the emphasis on design theories and methodologies that allow students to learn how to design by following a structured approach.
