Abstract
Cross disciplinary team learning enhances the team building and collaborative learning process. Engineering capstone subject provides students with different engineering disciplines to work on a live project. This serves them a great learning experience on collaborative learning and team working. Co-created projects provide students to engage in the project during the planning and construction phases. The new student precinct which is a co-created project, was introduced to the students to work on project management capstone subject at the University of Melbourne. This study presents some findings on teaching and learning outcomes of a co-created projects in engineering management. Students develop great team working and project management skills working in this project and they showed higher engagement in the project as they are considered as one of the main key stake holders in the project.
