Main Speaker
Lisa R. Lattuca: The case for contextualized and interdisciplinary engineering education: From promises to practices
Professor, University of Michigan
Employers, educators, and the public need engineers who respond knowledgeably and ethically to the needs of industry, stakeholders, and the communities their work affects immediately and in the future, yet engineering courses often abstract technical knowledge from the context-laden, real-world engineering problems that require definition and sound solutions. Moreover, experience and research suggest that the interdisciplinary and contextual competences needed for responsive and responsible engineering practice take time to develop and deepen.
At Chalmers, Tracks options and thoughtfully constructed design and project courses introduce students to interdisciplinary collaboration and problem-solving experiences. Extra-curricular activities can further engage students, although engagement is optional. A question thus arises: How might engineering programmes that seek to cultivate interdisciplinary and habits of mind and contextualized problem solving further integrate this learning into the formal curriculum and promote understanding of the sociotechnical dimension of engineering work? In this talk I draw on research on engineering education to make a case for contextualized and interdisciplinary engineering learning experiences. I also offer suggestions for educational practices and policies that support an educational programme that quite intentionally prepares engineers to work in ways that are responsive to the needs of employers and stakeholders and committed to contributing to an engineered world in which individuals and communities can live and thrive.
