Multidisciplinary and Collaborative Practices)

Guest Editors: Nebil Buyurgan, Mary Meixell, Qunnipiac University

 

Motivation and Background

 

As business practices evolve and become increasingly integrated, the
boundaries between disciplines fade. As such, multiple perspectives in
education become essential to adequately prepare students for the workforce,
and to achieve the curricular integration that is becoming increasingly
common in both business and engineering programs. Multidisciplinary
education is the practice of using the approaches and methods of two or more
disciplines in curriculum design, pedagogy development, and course delivery.
Similarly, collaborative education refers to educational endeavors that
employ instructors and students from multiple disciplines. Both approaches
bring together faculty and students with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints
to provide rich learning experiences.  They also provide opportunities for
instructors to see their disciplines from fresh perspectives, which may
enhance teaching and learning. 

 

Multidisciplinary education in the decision sciences can take on different
forms. For example, it can involve closely related fields such as marketing
and management, related but distinct disciplines such as entrepreneurship
and engineering, or offer integration with general education topics. It can
also involve different modalities. For example, technologies such as ERP and
simulation, experiential approaches such as service learning, and pedagogies
such as inquiry based learning or team teaching, can all be used to offer
deliver diverse educational experiences that cross traditional discipline
based boundaries.

 

This special issue solicits submissions that offer new insights or
innovations in multidisciplinary or collaborative education in the decision
sciences. Submissions are sought that not only explore boundary spanning
initiatives within the domain of business, but those that involve other
domains such as engineering, health sciences, communication, and general
education. Topics of interest include but are not limited to

 

*	The importance of multidisciplinary and collaborative education
within and across disciplines
*	Student perceptions of and attitudes to multidisciplinary education
*	Educational models, methods, and pedagogies for effective,
innovative multidisciplinary education
*	Curriculum development, course objectives, learning goals and
assessment
*	Developing and effectively using technology in multidisciplinary
education
*	Faculty issues, i.e., instructor development, faculty evaluation

 

Submission Deadline: August 1, 2014
