Abstract
Two innovative approaches taken to experimentally teach multidisciplinary problem solving to teams of engineering and business students are described. The first approach is through class partnering which emulates more long term interdisciplinary efforts such as design teams and configuration management teams. The second approach, which is based on Active Learning In the Virtual Enterprise (ALIVE) system, emulates shorter term interdisciplinary efforts common in industrial engineering practise. Such arrangements provide the students with a more realistic problem environment, and often motivates the student to higher levels of classroom performance.
