interdisciplinary design education

Interdisciplinary design education integrates knowledge and methods from various fields—such as art, engineering, social sciences, and technology—to solve complex problems. This approach encourages collaboration among students with diverse skills and perspectives, fostering innovative solutions that a single discipline might miss. For example, a team might combine design thinking with environmental science to create sustainable products. By learning to think across boundaries, students develop a broader understanding of challenges and enhance their ability to create effective, well-rounded designs that consider multiple aspects, including functionality, aesthetics, and user experience.
