Transforming Engineering Education in Learning Ecosystems for Resilient Engineers
Renate G. Klaassen; Hans Hellendoorn; Linette Bossen
IEEE Transactions on Education, v67 n1 p44-55 2024
TU Delft education system is transformed on three levels: (1) new courses and projects in existing B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs for multidisciplinary and reflective learning; (2) new M.Sc. programs focusing on multi and interdisciplinarity, personal development, and professional skills; and (3) central Interdisciplinary Projects for Master Students from different programs. With these steps, the university offers students a learning ecosystem where identity-building can occur, fosters interdisciplinary teamwork, and strong interaction with the professional world and government is necessary to finish projects. In this article, the ecosystem will be explained, and results will be shared of surveys among students who experienced learning in the learning ecosystem. The surveys show that students understand their future role in the community as engineers, feel that they have acquired new skills, feel better about framing complex problems, and are more competent to work in the industry.
