The recent establishment of a new Department of Engineering Education (DEED) at Purdue University has laid the solid foundation of planning for a sustainable four-year, pedagogically supported, multidisciplinary curriculum that gives students rich, scholarly interconnections and builds bridges among disciplines. This project is implementing a new multidisciplinary engineering (MDE) program of study, housed in DEED. It comes at a time when fast-moving, global multidisciplinary industrial environments require graduates to have not only the traditional technical knowledge of their predecessors but also a new and broader skill set. The MDE program will allow flexible and sustainable responses to emerging technologies. The core curriculum of the newly developed MDE courses is focusing on multidisciplinary themes, integrating research and teaching, and emphasizing team skills. Innovative core courses are being devised around research themes that cut across traditional discipline boundaries and systematically exposing students to emerging research. Classes are being taught by teams of leading research faculty in the signature areas of emphasis for engineering at Purdue and are incorporating critical findings by experts in learning, pedagogy, and assessment fields to build a solid educational foundation.

最近在普渡大学建立了一个新的工程教育系（DEED），为规划可持续的四年制，教学支持，多学科课程奠定了坚实的基础，为学生提供丰富的学术联系，并在学科之间建立桥梁。该项目正在实施一项新的多学科工程（MDE）研究计划，位于DEED。它是在一个快速发展的全球多学科工业环境要求毕业生不仅要有他们的前辈的传统技术知识，但也有一个新的和更广泛的技能组合的时候。MDE计划将允许对新兴技术做出灵活和可持续的反应。新开发的MDE课程的核心课程侧重于多学科主题，整合研究和教学，并强调团队技能。创新的核心课程正在围绕跨越传统学科界限的研究主题进行设计，并系统地让学生接触新兴研究。课程由普渡大学工程重点领域的领先研究教师团队授课，并将学习，教育学和评估领域专家的重要发现纳入其中，以建立坚实的教育基础。
