IdentityAbstractBackground Interdisciplinary graduate education is not only an urgent need for scientific andtechnological innovation toward socioeconomic development but also aligns with the law ofthe growth of high-level innovative talents. It has now become an important trend in thereform of global graduate education. The transformation has stimulated some forms ofinterdisciplinary experiences, including critical thinking awareness, interdisciplinary teamteaching, etc. However, little is known about the core characteristics that shapeinterdisciplinary competence and internal effect mechanisms.Purpose/Hypothesis This study seeks to explore how the interdisciplinary teaching systemrelates to the interdisciplinary competence of engineering graduates.

. Therefore, the VSremains a significant research interest.This paper has been developed to introduce the vestibular system and its functions to aninterdisciplinary audience. There are two primary goals with respect to engineering education. Thefirst is to develop a novel model of graduate education for students in different disciplines to learnhow to collaborate on a new research problem using foundational knowledge they have gained intheir respective areas of study. The second addresses building skills in technical communicationto a diverse audience. This will be demonstrated in future work by mapping this research to anonline educational module to introduce this topic to undergraduate students in different coursessuch as Feedback Control Systems

rateamong engineering graduates in western countries is almost 13% [4], and a staggering62.3% and 42.8% among Fine art and Design graduates respectively [5]. These numbersdo not just disincentivise students from pursuing their desired majors and their passionsbut also suggest a need for an immediate change to improve disciplinary education, ifnot completely returning to an integrative multidisciplinary approach.The vitality of multidisciplinary education is therefore evident. However, the approachtowards this collaborative education is just as important. The way a topic is introducedto a student and the way that topic is applied varies highly with respect to the type ofeducational model being followed. Project based learning, for example gives

While some models do exist for integrating concepts associated with forced displacementinto engineering education, primarily through courses on humanitarian engineering initiatives,these courses rarely provide students the opportunity to approach the issue holistically andengage with the various aspects of forced displacement in depth [6, 7, 8, 9, 10].
