“…Educator teams that have successfully conducted interdisciplinary projects in the United States and abroad agree that an integrated interdisciplinary curriculum results in enhanced problem-solving skills and higher achievement, and that the motivation to learn increases when students focus on problems that are interesting to solve (Loepp 1999, Kitto 1997. The integrated product and process development paradigm of simultaneous engineering has positively impacted manufacturing education in Australia, Brazil, China, and Japan in recent years (Kara et al 1997, Furukawa 1998, Rozenfield et al 1998, Azevedo da Silveira and Scavarda-do-Carmo 1999.…”

Launching new or improved products to the market typically involves extensive collaboration within and beyond the enterprise. Succeeding in a customer-driven market economy demands the practice of simultaneous engineering. The standard engineering or engineering technology curricula continue to make efforts in providing students with opportunities to engage in real-life projects that simulate simultaneous engineering. However, the educational community as a whole has much to implement in this area. This paper presents an approach used to nurture simultaneous engineering through a unique collaboration between instructors in different disciplines. Student teams, formed from three different classes, conceived problems and worked through a problem-solving model to design and develop solutions. An assessment of these interdisciplinary projects revealed significant learning outcomes and their relationships to the diversity of team members. The experiences of both students and instructors are described and some recommendations made for instructor teams that envisage interdisciplinary student projects.

“…One of the other observations is that it is important for the design project to have a strong and committed leader. Kitto 12 gives a particularly descriptive explanation of the dynamics between the leader and the subordinates: "Examining team dynamics in these projects is very interesting. Almost all student leaders go through a moderate beginning phase where patience and a small amount of direction is imposed, followed by their personal frustration and then their passage through a dictatorial stage.…”

“…In the early 1990s, Jeffries emphasized how simultaneous engineering was fast becoming an agent for sweeping reforms in manufacturing education 3 . Kitto provided an excellent insight into the blending of simultaneous engineering practices in engineering and industrial technology education at Western Washington University 4 . The integrated product and process development paradigm of simultaneous engineering has positively impacted manufacturing education in countries such as Australia, Brazil, China, and Japan in recent years [5][6][7][8] .…”
