WSI.1 - Interdisciplinarity in Engineering Education

Overview: In this workshop, participants will explore practical strategies to promote interdisciplinarity in engineering education. In a rapidly changing world, educating future engineers requires approaches that combine knowledge from different areas, connecting traditional disciplines to new emerging fields. This workshop will provide teachers with tools and activities that can be adapted to their own classes to create more connected, relevant and dynamic learning experiences.

Objectives: Present the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinarity in engineering education. Demonstrate practical techniques to integrate knowledge from different areas in the classes. Develop collaborative activities that teachers can replicate with their students. Promote reflection on how to adapt education to current needs.
