IDEE: New expectations to face contemporary challenges, promising avenues opened by research advances
In the last decades, teaching innovation and design in engineering education has mainly consisted in a multi-disciplinary approach, adding management, economics, leadership and/or entrepreneurship courses to engineering sciences curricula, and enabling project-based learning.
Still these practices tend to underestimate what contemporary socio-economics and environmental challenges will require from the engineers and scientists: to be able to manage in the unknown. To face this challenge, we should rely on a new paradigm in innovation and design for engineering education, that is based on generativity (beyond optimization) and design theory (beyond decision theory).
What are the key goals of your EELISA Community for 2022?
