Review study on interdisciplinary engineering education published
A 4TU.CEE review study on interdisciplinary engineering education was published in the Journal of Engineering Education.
Societal challenges that call for a new type of engineer suggest the need for the implementation of interdisciplinary engineering education (IEE). The aim of IEE is to train engineering students to bring together expertise from different disciplines in a single context. This review synthesizes IEE research with a focus on characterizing vision, teaching practices, and support.
Antoine Van den Beemt, Miles MacLeod, Jan Van der Veen, Anne Van de Ven, Sophie van Baalen, Renate Klaassen and Mieke Boon all worked hard to make it happen.
