Abstract
Engineering is collaborative by nature, and this study was conducted to further embed these traits through the experiential learning-based inter-disciplinary project activity spanned over three weeks. Students of three different branches of engineering voluntarily worked on common projects to develop understanding on common topics. They also reviewed the projects of their peer through a Web-based peer review process (AmiPREP) specifically developed to bring technical uniformity in selected projects. After the completion of the projects, participants were interviewed and their responses implicated that the activity proved to be meaningful, interesting and effective to work in inter-disciplinary teams and understand the significance of mathematical modeling through MATLAB/Simulink.
