The problems facing society today are complex, multifaceted, and require crossing multiple disciplinary boundaries. As such, these problems call for interdisciplinary collaboration, including new and different combinations of skills and knowledge. Currently, tertiary education providers are not well-positioned to develop these interdisciplinary capabilities at a rate commensurate with the speed of contemporary change. This book places design thinking as the catalyst to create change in the tertiary education sector and to build interdisciplinary skill sets that are required for the graduate of the future. By presenting a series of case studies and drawing on global experts in the field, this book investigates pedagogical approaches, disciplinary facilitation practice, curriculum integration, and a framework for understanding design thinking pedagogy within tertiary education. Focusing on how educational institutions can produce innovative graduates with the ability to traverse disciplinary constraints, this book will be essential reading for research students, academics, and industry practitioners.

This foundational guide to new and emerging teaching methodologies in design education offers insights, global reflections, strategies, and best practices for enhancing learning in the future.Drawing on leading practice and experience from a global community of experts, the authors present a curated collection of the most relevant and innovative pedagogical approaches and teaching practices for interdisciplinary design education. With this book in hand educators will discover:· cutting-edge interdisciplinary approaches to teaching design for all students· a comprehensive index to identify and apply the most suitable pedagogy for their specific context· an in-depth exploration into six signature interdisciplinary design pedagogies, examining their adoption, adaptation, and application across diverse learning environments· practical examples in action, with international lessons learned from experts in the field· techniques at the intersection of design, learning sciences, and education, bridging theory and practice, enabling more effective learning experiences.A comprehensive resource intended for design educators as well as those from design-adjacent disciplines – from business, management and education to health, engineering, and social sciences – who incorporate design within their teaching, this essential guide equips educators with the tools and techniques to foster engaging and meaningful learning experiences for all students.
