| Abstract | The Engineering Technology (ET) program is one of several unique programs at Sam Houston State University. The program offers six Bachelor of Science (BS) Major degrees and a variety of courses for a BS Minor. The BS degrees offered in the program are: (a) Engineering Technology-Electronics; (b) Engineering Technology-Safety Management; (c) Construction Management; (d) Design and Development; (e) Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology; and (f) Industrial Education. All the students enrolled in one of these degree programs must take the same major core courses as well as the degree-specific courses as part of curriculum requirements. The common degree specific courses include Circuits, Engineering Graphics, Leadership and Management, Industrial Safety, etc. With these degree-specific requirements, students learn common content for ET degrees. Each of the six degrees require students to declare a minor in order to reach 120/123 hours as part of the curriculum requirement for graduation. In most cases, students select a minor from ET degrees, but any minor is allowed for students to declare (e.g., General Business). The goal of this interdisciplinary course is to engage ET students in engineering-related interdisciplinary projects. The new proposed course (junior/senior standing) gives an opportunity to those students majoring and minoring in ETrelated degrees to share and advance their knowledge with other students by working on an interdisciplinary project. Projects are assigned either by the course instructor or proposed by the students. This course design centers on its uniqueness, when compared to a standard capstone design course. The nature of the projects, student feedback, challenges, and outcomes/results are obtained through by implementation of the course. A comparison of the Interdisciplinary Experimental Engineering Project Course to a capstone course is offered in this paper. |
