Feng, Xiaoqi; Ylirisku, Salu; Kähkönen, Elina; Niemi, Hannele; Hölttä-Otto, Katja – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Engineering education has become increasingly multidisciplinary in order to prepare future experts to transcend disciplinary boundaries and to co-construct solutions to solve grand challenges. However, faculty members' perspectives and experiences have been largely ignored in the literature. To understand and support faculty members, the present…

Diana Adela Martin; Gunter Bombaerts – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an educational approach that has gained popularity in response to the need for authentic learning environments. While the CBL literature is predominantly focused on cases of pedagogical implementations, the actual processes by which students develop CBL projects remain under-investigated. This shortitudinal study…

Nevset Gul Canakcioglu; Omer Karadag; Yagiz Eray Esgin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Architectural education encompasses a multidisciplinary curriculum including design, theory, history, technology, environmental considerations, urban planning, social aspects, and professional practice. This study aims to investigate the extent to which students can effectively integrate structural concepts into architectural design. This…

van den Beemt, Antoine; van de Watering, Gerard; Bots, Michael – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Increasingly higher education programs are made learner centred and flexible to face societal changes. Challenge-based learning (CBL) is an educational concept shaping these open and flexible programs. This article aims to articulate a framework for analysing CBL characteristics within and between study components in academic curricula. It…

Júlio César Dutra; Patrícia Schmid Calvão – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
This article aims to present our experience with transmedia storytelling in the design of materials selection, integrating two disciplines within an undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum in Brazil. The students' project involved developing a narrative within the fictional universe of superheroes while exploring material properties using…

Stephen Secules – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
This paper examines specific problems of educational practice that I, an undergraduate engineering educator and education researcher, have encountered in creating an interdisciplinary engineering project course. I reveal my process of theorising about problems of practice to position engineering educators' pedagogical theorising as worthy of…

Luiz Ney d'Escoffier; Dan Jiang; Aida Guerra; Andres Felipe Valderrama Pineda; Imad Abou-Hayt – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Despite an emerging emphasis on the role of engineers in achieving the SDGs, there is still a lack of agreement on which competencies should be prioritised to prepare them to tackle future sustainability challenges. By formulating a theoretical framework of key sustainable competencies based on prior studies, this study investigated engineering…

Mihret Dessie, Wondifraw; Kassahun Bewuket, Haile; Esubalew Tariku, Mekonnen – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The prevailing civil engineering graduates' technical writing and oral presentation-related drawbacks have necessitated the design and implementation of demand-driven courses applying interdisciplinary pedagogy. This study investigates civil engineering academia-industry interdisciplinary contents, methods, and situations needed to design…

Charosky, Guido; Hassi, Lotta; Papageorgiou, Kyriaki; Bragós, Ramon – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The gap between industry needs and engineering graduates' competences is being tackled by project-based courses, which also help to develop key innovation competences to address current societal challenges. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding about what innovation competences are developed through the different types of project-based…

Klaassen, Renate G. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Today, interdisciplinary education is a hot topic. Gaining an insight into the nature of interdisciplinary education may help when making design decisions for interdisciplinary education. In this study, we argue that, derived from interdisciplinary research, the choice of problem, the level of interaction between different disciplines and…

Kohn Rådberg, Kamilla; Lundqvist, Ulrika; Malmqvist, Johan; Hagvall Svensson, Oskar – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Challenge-based learning (CBL) is a multidisciplinary approach that encourages students to work actively with peers, teachers and stakeholders in society to identify complex challenges, formulate relevant questions and take action for sustainable development. In this paper, it is argued that CBL can be viewed as an evolution of the Conceive,…

MacLeod, Miles; van der Veen, Jan T. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Can you ask students from three different bachelor programmes to help solve planning and routeing problems for hospitals? In the presented case an interdisciplinary approach was shown to be successful after some redesign. Students from Applied Mathematics, Civil Engineering and Industrial & Engineering Management jointly designed solutions for…
