Study on Interdisciplinary Technical Projects as related to Outcome Based Education

Abstract

There is an increasing demand for quality and up front work involving Interdisciplinary effort in every organization. As engineers, it is of prime importance to focus on developing skills that might help produce effective solutions requiring a multidisciplinary approach. This article aims at providing a broader perspective regarding the various aspects of why Interdisciplinary Technical Projects are a not so popular choice among students belonging to different engineering disciplines and what measures can be taken to promote the same. The students were made to fill a survey questionnaire to obtain valuable inputs using which appropriate inferences are drawn.
