Interdisciplinary Learning –The global engineering is based on teams from different disciplines working together. For success, these interdisciplinary teams must understand different cultures associated with the disciplines and learn to see connections between different disciplines as well as course concepts. SREC ecosystem is designed to promote these constant collisions between ideas, thoughts, disciplines, and people by creating a large common core curriculum as well as extra-curricular opportunities that lead to rich learning experience. The common core requires students of different disciplines to take classes together and lasting professional network. In view of the importance of developing the interdisciplinary learning, the institute has established a Cognitive Science Center. An open elective course, ‘Cognitive Engineering’, is presently offered. An interdisciplinary group of faculty have successfully completed a Major Research Project funded by DST (2012-2015) under Cognitive Science Research Initiative titled ‘Understanding Design Fixation in Indian Engineering Students’.
