Although the process is practiced in manydifferent ways, depending on, for instance, company size and customer requirements, there aremany common elements. These need to be covered by University teaching to prepare studentsfor jobs in industry. This paper considers how students can be supported to make open, creativeand well informed decisions in several stages of the product development process.A teaching approach suitable for the product development process is described and investigated.The pedagogic context of the approach is project based learning in small student groups withshort regular meetings with an instructor for consultation and supervision

Geotechnical and geo-environmental engineers in particular must be able to understand and apply various aspects of thegeological sciences in their practice, but many other types of engineers also need to be confidentin understanding and applying findings of geologists with respect to their projects. This includesmanaging civil or environmental aspects of foundation systems, tunneling, mining, constructionmaterials, excavation, ground water, contaminant transport, seismicity, and mass movement,among many other applications.Because of the importance of geological science to civil and environmental engineers, it is notunusual for some engineering programs to require a course

Overall, we have shownthat a graduate course designed to improve interdisciplinary learning is capable of making smallincreases in the interdisciplinary learning of students.BackgroundThe need to create graduate students with interdisciplinary skillsets is regarded as increasinglyimportant as research challenges become more complex and fall outside the disciplinaryconstructs of currently established fields.
