Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.8 MB
Overview: This edited volume presents conceptual and empirical research on the design and implementation of an interdisciplinary engineering education programme grounded in a liberal arts philosophy. Authored by researchers from diverse disciplines, the chapters explore and reflect on the elements that characterise this educational programme.
The first two chapters examine the societal value of inter- and transdisciplinary education within a liberal arts framework. Subsequent chapters discuss the features and components of interdisciplinary engineering education, while also addressing the challenges associated with implementing such an approach. Particular attention is given to the role and impact of self-directed learning, a key feature of this educational model. The volume further describes the various paradigms and approaches the programme employs to realise its vision.
