This article presents a method to design an Internet-based interdisciplinary course, or part of a course, for early undergraduate engineering students. The objective is to emphasize on different aspects of a subject to give the students enough knowledge and experience to help them to choose their area of interest in engineering, and to motivate the...

... It is well known that any successful curriculum development for engineering education will confront a challenge of arranging a kind of interdisciplinary program for a limited time period. From Wickenden Report [12] in 1930s, Walker's discussion [11] in 1970s, and up to recent investigations [2,6,10], this dilemma and its possible consequences have been thoroughly recognized and studied, but unfortunately not yet been completely solved. Actually, there might never be any perfect solutions to this problem. ...
One challenging objective for the future engineering production is to have products with not only super quality, but also high-level intelligence and reliability. This demands for engineers equipped with the knowledge of specific engineering subject(s) and some systematic knowledge of intelligence and reliability techniques as well. Since 2004 Esbjerg Institute of Technology, Aalborg University, has run a Master engineering education program called Intelligent Reliable System (IRS) Program. The IRS program combines the knowledge from control engineering, reliability engineering and some emerging artificial intelligence techniques into one unique engineering education framework. Besides the general engineering ability and some fundamental knowledge of control engineering, the IRS program also offers students with a systematic knowledge about analysis, modelling, design, validation, test and assessment of reliable systems by taking both the computation and control into consideration. Emerging artificial intelligence techniques which can enhance the analysis, design, verification and construction of reliable systems, are also introduced. Within this paper the educational and pedagogical experiences we gained through the development of IRS curriculum and operation of this program are discussed. The theme-centralized multi-disciplinary course integration and the problem-based learning method play key rules in the curriculum development. The close and extensive cooperation with industries gives gigantic and sustainable driving forces for this education and meanwhile it also leads excellent job opportunities for students. We wish the methodologies we employed in this education development can provide some fundamental guidelines for other modern interdisciplinary program development.
This article is about technologies we use in industrial design education and based on a research being made in Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts for the last 3 years. Our study is named as "Innovative technologies in multidisciplinary industrial design education" and it is experimented on several lectures spread into last three years of undergraduate and the first year of graduate industrial design education. Lectures are made in a classroom-workshop environment and covered subjects start with 3D modeling, general mechanics design, parts, assembly, products and the interior mechanics of products, then continue with electro mechanic product design and later product software & hardware. In lectures, students work on carefully selected electronic product systems which are simple to build yet capable of being used in products that can be interesting for the students. Industrial design and engineering students cooperate in lectures together for understanding and designing various systems of an intelligent product. Industrial design students usually never encounter this level of technological or engineering complexity in their projects. With these studies, students get a valuable experience in designing not only the outer form, usage scenarios of a modern electronic product; they also get an idea of a product's internal structure, electromechanical systems and programming. Students get the opportunity of working in a multidisciplinary group of designers & engineers to finish a project from scratch by going through all the steps necessary to complete it. And in the end, they receive a fascinating reward; fully working product prototypes which they have built themselves.
