Aims and Scope
In this special issue we are looking for the state-of-the-art research on interdisciplinary learning in engineering education. We welcome evidence-informed research (both qualitative and quantitative) on the following topics:
- How do we educate engineering students to help solve critical societal challenges and
what are the learning gains? - How do faculty staff engage with interdisciplinary education, including their beliefs, atti-
tudes, identity and collaborative practices, rewards and recognition? - How is interdisciplinary learning linked with engineering practice and industry stakehold-
ers?
Submissions should demonstrate a clear focus on advancing the conceptualization and practice of interdisciplinarity in engineering education, in the context of programmatic and institutional transformation. We are particularly interested in research that presents novel methodologies, results, understandings, pedagogical strategies, or successful interventions which can contribute to the transformation of engineering education.
