In this podcast, Professor Anette Kolmos (Professor in Engineering Education and PBL) and Dr Henrik Worm Routhe (Postdoctoral Researcher) from Aalborg University (AAU) in Denmark, tell about InterPBL and the different approaches that can be taken to interdisciplinary learning and teaching.
The PBL curriculum frequently involved the development of generic skills, which are required for students to collaborate in project teams. Interdisciplinary learning is gaining traction in engineering education, and there is a need to examine the acquisition of generic competencies in new interdisciplinary constellations, with an emphasis on both...
All together, these have been five busy years with the luxury of time to reflect and further develop our early results. In engineering education, the concept of interdisciplinarity has been used in general terms for all types of collaboration among disciplines, no matter if these were within engineering, across engineering and science, or even...
The world is becoming more chaotic. We witness political chaos, maybe soon economic chaos, war, climate issues which will become climate chaos in the future. I have been involved in studying problem- and project-based learning (PBL) in engineering education for more than 40 years. In my generation, we thought we did something good to engineering...
