Aims and Scope
In this special issue we are looking for the state-of-the-art research on interdisciplinary learning in engineering education. We welcome evidence-informed research (both qualitative and quantitative) on the following topics:
- How do we educate engineering students to help solve critical societal challenges and
what are the learning gains? - How do faculty staff engage with interdisciplinary education, including their beliefs, atti-
tudes, identity and collaborative practices, rewards and recognition? - How is interdisciplinary learning linked with engineering practice and industry stakehold-
ers?
Submissions should demonstrate a clear focus on advancing the conceptualization and practice of interdisciplinarity in engineering education, in the context of programmatic and institutional transformation. We are particularly interested in research that presents novel methodologies, results, understandings, pedagogical strategies, or successful interventions which can contribute to the transformation of engineering education.
Instructions for authors
Extended abstracts should be anonymized and limited to 800-1000 words, plus references. The
abstract should be a summary of the article and include:
- Aims or research questions
- Contextualization in literature
- Methodology
- Findings
- Perspectives
Submission is free-format and manuscripts are formatted to journal style upon publication. Extended abstracts are submitted here: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ceee
