Transdisciplinary Engineering Competencies and Student Experiences 

This project connects various initiatives focused on transdisciplinary engineering education and engineering students’ competency development. The overall purpose is to explore transdisciplinarity in engineering education practice and research, and how to better support engineering students in developing transdisciplinary competencies.  

 The project was financially supported by the Dean’s Strategic Fund, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, from 2020 to 2022.
