ABSTRACT
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...
Engineers are important participants in solving societal, environmental and technical problems. However, due to an increasing complexity in relation to these problems new interdisciplinary competences are needed in engineering. Instead of students working with monodisciplinary problems, a situation where students work with authentic complex problem...
Purpose
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been suggested as an approach to education for sustainable development (ESD); however, the integration of interdisciplinarity is continuously challenged as it requires transfer and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries, as well as integration into an often already-overflowing curriculum. Even in forma...
This paper presents research and initial findings on the launch and first two rounds of educational megaprojects at Aalborg University, i.e. large-scale interdisciplinary projects designed to address highly complex problems and grand societal challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic or the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Based on data collected t...
