Anette Kolmos; Jette Egelund Holgaard; Henrik Worm Routhe; Maiken Winther; Lykke Bertel – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Problem- and project-based learning (PBL) is often highlighted as a valuable approach for addressing the need for interdisciplinarity in engineering education. However, studies indicate that applied projects in engineering education tend to be limited to a single discipline. This article presents a new project typology which can be applied in…

Jack Tsao; Sakinah Alhadad; Danielle Heinrichs; Suraiya Abdul Hameed; Katherine McLay – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Transdisciplinary problem-solving using digital technologies can further the internationalisation agenda within higher education through an inquiry-based collaborative online international exchange that is transformative and contributes real-world knowledge. Our study focused on a 12-week fully online programme bringing together undergraduates and…

Klaasjan Visscher – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
This paper presents and evaluates a role-play simulation called 'Theatrical Technology Assessment', in which students learn about complex stakeholder dynamics around emerging technologies. This role-play combines insights from Constructive Technology Assessment, improvisational theatre and educational role-play designs. It was implemented in an…

Jiyoon Yoon; Katie Koo – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
This study aimed to investigate early childhood teacher candidates' perceptions of teaching Science and Technology in Society (STS) through a project-based interdisciplinary model. The model comprised activities like STS field trips, roleplay contests, documentary movie projects, classroom tasks, and group discussions, to foster an understanding…

Wonham, Marjorie; Derby-Talbot, Ryan – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
The major is a standard undergraduate degree structure in which learners follow largely predetermined course paths with the primary goal of developing content knowledge and skills. Developing the more sophisticated ability to author inquiry is typically deferred to graduate training but can, we believe, be successfully cultivated in undergraduates…

Helen Boylan; Alison L. DuBois; Brian Petrus – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2025
In recent years, employers have expressed concerns that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduates, though proficient in their academic disciplines, lack the critical skills necessary for success in the workplace (Karimi & Pina, 2021). Additionally, many non-STEM majors do not develop the basic STEM competencies that…

Fan, Hua; Xie, Huajiang; Feng, Quanyuans; Bonizzoni, Edoardo; Heidari, Hadi; McEwan, Michael P.; Ghannam, Rami – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Continuous developments in the electronics industry have led to constantly changing career roles and graduate skills requirements. Students in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) have complained that numerous courses in electronic engineering are heavily focused on theoretical knowledge that is disconnected from…

Urizar, Guido G., Jr.; Miller, Karissa – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2022
The number of health psychology courses offered in higher education institutions has dramatically increased over the past 30 years. Health psychology courses provide students a unique opportunity to learn about important public health issues and health disparities affecting our society from a biopsychosocial perspective. Prior research indicates…

Alex Baumber; Giedre Kligyte; Susanne Pratt; Jacqueline Melvold; Lucy Allen; Bella Bowdler; Bem Le Hunte; Adrian Buck; Tyler Key – International Journal of Work-Integrated Learning, 2024
Relationships between students and external partners in work-integrated learning can vary and power dynamics, hierarchies and student agency have been under explored in research to date. Integrated research involving work-integrated learning, students as partners and transdisciplinarity presents an opportunity to enrich each of these fields. This…

Julia Sonnenberg-Klein; Edward J. Coyle – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: This longitudinal study modeled student leadership growth in a course sequence supporting long-term, large-scale, multidisciplinary projects embedded in faculty research. Students (half from computer science, computational media, electrical engineering, and computer engineering) participated for 1-4 semesters. Background: Project-…

Teun J. Dekker – Tertiary Education and Management, 2024
European advocates of Liberal Arts and Sciences education often claim that this educational model is highly effective at teaching students a range of generic, transferable, or 21st-century skills, which are thought to be vital for success in the labour market of the future. However, there is little empirical research into whether and how these…

Edward J. Balleisen; Laura Howes; Erik Wibbels – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
A growing body of research suggests that "high-impact practices" such as project-based and experiential learning make important contributions to undergraduate student development and outcomes. However, most attempts to evaluate such programs are based on qualitative or self-reported data generated from small samples. This study examines…

Michael T. O'Connell; Christian Stöhr; Patric Wallin; Raffaella Negretti – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Engineering education has seen a growing interest in how students regulate their learning as a group in interdisciplinary projects. This study adds to the current literature on social regulation of learning by conducting a comparative case study of three interdisciplinary group projects addressing real-world challenges. Semi-structured qualitative…

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…

Lehpamer, Nicole; Menchik, Daniel – Teaching Sociology, 2023
Using observations from a medical sociology course offered in two formats, we compare how undergraduate premedical students learned to see sociologically after (1) completing a one-semester course in which theory in medical sociology and fieldwork were taught concurrently or (2) completing a two-semester course in which theory in medical sociology…
