To prepare undergraduates for complex careers, interdisciplinary higher education is gaining popularity. However, implementing interdisciplinary learning in engineering management is challenging due to the complex and intertwined knowledge structures. While smart education platforms provide access to extensive knowledge bases, the intricate web of…

The increasing complexity of societal problems and the need for more interdisciplinary problem-solving in the future raise new demands for future engineering competences. Consequently, competences related to management and leadership must be reconsidered and reflected in both engineering education and engineering education research. This leads to…

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…

The problem of the research is urgent due to the need to develop a special style of thinking. This type is based on problem cognitive activity, focused on lean production, resource conservation, and supported by an automated system that provides resources for solving socioeconomic problems in the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution and…

Increased attention to the need for constructively aligned teaching and learning in interdisciplinary higher education in engineering is observed. By contrast, little research has been conducted on the implementation of the outcome-based pedagogical approach to interdisciplinary higher education in engineering. Therefore, the present design-based…

While entrepreneurship has emerged as an important mechanism for the generation of social returns in terms of economic growth and job creation, entrepreneurship education is still something new in Europe and the debate about the need and the way of introduction of specific entrepreneurship courses in higher education is on going. This paper deals…

Discusses the purpose and curriculum of interdisciplinary engineering management programs conducted at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Indicates that the development of a proper balance of engineering, science, and management is proved satisfactory by student acceptance, graduate placement, and feedback from both graduates and employers.
