Chen, Yawei; Daamen, Tom A.; Heurkens, Erwin W. T. M.; Verheul, Wouter J. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
To understand and deal with real urban development problems, urban planners, designers, and managers need to combine and synthesize a variety of academic and professional knowledge. As our urban challenges grow more complex, learning how to do this effectively becomes ever more important. For educators, this means teaching students how to work in…

Self, James A.; Evans, Mark; Jun, Thomas; Southee, Darren – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
We explore the potential drivers for and barriers to interdisciplinary education in design from the student learning perspective. To achieve this, a series of in-depth student interview studies were conducted at two interdisciplinary design schools in the Republic of Korea and the UK. Results indicated both awareness and synthesis of…

Kiernan, Louise; Ledwith, Ann; Lynch, Ray – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
Design education has moved towards a collaborative practice where designers work in teams and with other disciplines to solve unstructured problems. Along with the cognitive skills involved in the execution of the design process, designers also need skills to work in teams, share information, negotiate common ground and reach consensus.…

Chiang, Feng-Kuang; Chang, Chun-Hao; Wang, Shan; Cai, Rui-Heng; Li, Li – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
The study aimed to investigate the effect of an interdisciplinary STEM course on children's attitudes of learning and engineering design skills. A total of 449 elementary school children in China were recruited from three different grade levels (i.e., second, fourth and sixth grade) to participate in this study. All participants attended a weekly…

Sharunova, Alyona; Wang, Yang; Kowalski, Michael; Qureshi, Ahmed Jawad – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
The new transdisciplinary nature of industrial product design should be appropriately addressed by post-secondary institutions and engineering schools in their curricula to ensure high quality of engineering design education and its applicability to industrial demands. To achieve this, a new transdisciplinary teaching methodology is required. This…

English, Lyn D. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
This article reports on a 4th-grade problem activity implemented as part of a 4-year longitudinal, design research study across grades 3-6. The activity integrated the four STEM disciplines through a focus on design. Following investigations of their feet measurements and shoes, two classes of 9-year-olds explored the roles of designers and…

Baaki, John; Tracey, Monica W.; Hutchinson, Alisa – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2017
Designers give themselves something to "react to" and they make it "rich." During design, what they react to can take many forms: a homepage wireframe, an Excel spreadsheet, building drawings, and a Tweet prototype. Using a phenomenological research design using an interactive methodology and multiple data collection methods,…
