Jan was inspired by both his time as a physics teacher and the silos formed by different disciplines within higher education. Jan believes that interdisciplinary education is becoming more important for engineers who face complex problems such as progress towards the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He describes the differences between multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary and provides examples of integrating interdisciplinary within engineering programmes.</p><p><br></p><p>*must read show notes* https://www.sefi.be/2022/12/19/podcast-episode-4-european-engineering-educators-is-online/</p><p><br></p><p>Join Dr Natalie Wint (University College London) and Dr Neil Cooke (University of Birmingham) for this informative discussion.</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks to Jan for tolerating both of us suffering from colds while recording!</p><p><br></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>0.00 Abstract</p><p>0.40 Podcast intro</p><p>1.07 What we will talk about</p><p>1.21 Experiences of interdisciplinary from Neil and Natalie</p><p>2.45 Jan’s background</p><p>4.40 TU Eindhoven</p><p>5.28 What do we mean by interdisciplinary?</p><p>7.07 The need for interdisciplinary</p><p>8.00 Students’ perception of interdisciplinary</p><p>8.43 Terminology: multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary</p><p>10.22 Boundary crossing</p><p>11.48 Implementation, teaching teams and support</p><p>14.10 Example of interdisciplinary in action; Mechanical Engineering, Product Design and Business Studies.</p><p>15.51 Problems provided by external collaborators</p><p>17.31 Challenges</p><p>19.09 Opportunities for new degree programmes</p><p>22.40 Assessment of interdisciplinary skills</p><p>25.40 Disciplinary identities</p><p>28.00 The future of interdisciplinary</p><p>29.30 Final advice from Jan</p><p>30.28 Key takeaways from Natalie and Neil.</p><p><br></p><p>Resources:</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.tue.nl/en/our-university/departments/eindhoven-school-of-education/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Eindhoven School of Education (tue.nl)</a></p><p>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jee.20347</p><p><br></p><p>Become a member of the European Society for Engineering Education, SEFI, Europe's largest network of engineering educators: www.sefi.be</p><p><br></p><p>Music by ComaStudio https://pixabay.com/users/comastudio-26079283/</p><p><br></p><p>Written and produced by Neil Cooke and Natalie Wint.</p>","author_name":"SEFI European society for engineering education"}
