Abstract

Aiming at handling today’s challenges as rising product complexity and shorter development cycles,
industrial product development projects have established multi-disciplinary teamwork of both
technical and non-technical disciplines. In order to prepare students to this multi-disciplinary team
work, the university collaboration project “Smart TripElec” was processed. The project aims at
applying industrial relevant Systems Engineering methods and tools for multi-disciplinary project
teamwork of engineers and product designers. This paper’s objective is to design and evaluate this
cross-disciplinary approach.

Keywords: Design in engineering, Cross-disciplinarity, immersive technologies.
