ABSTRACT
This paper presents a work-in-progress on a new multidisciplinary design project for an Energy Conversion Electromagnetics course at Cal Poly State University. The project is intended to strengthen the skills of electrical and mechanical engineering students by performing design tasks in a multidisciplinary environment. Concurrently, this new design project is implemented to fulfill ABET criterion 3d. The content and format of the project will be described in this paper. Assessments planned for the project will also be discussed.

Multidisciplinary knowledge modeling and cooperative design for automobile development
The paper presents a cooperative design approach based on multidisciplinary knowledge modeling for automobile development. The design knowledge from multidisciplinary domain is obtained to establish multidisciplinary knowledge model. Then ...
Social design in multidisciplinary engineering design courses
In this paper we propose a social design focus in multidisciplinary engineering design courses as a paradigm that can develop the human and social capital needed in modern undergraduate engineering education facing the current global challenges. In ...
Multidisciplinary Educational Design Framework to Facilitate Cross-Boundary Educational Design: Closing Gaps Between Disciplines
The development of multidisciplinary education requires people to communicate, learn, and design beyond the boundaries of their own domains. In this research, an education design framework is developed to facilitate and support university teachers in ...
