Transdisciplinary courses are increasingly prevalent in engineering education curricula. These courses involve partnering with real-world actors to tackle real-world problems, perhaps most notably the contemporary sustainability challenge. How to balance environmental sustainability with social and economic goals is a contested issue, with varying perspectives on the problems and solutions, even among experts. Furthermore, sustainability education is shaped amidst an unpredictable political landscape and yet unknown technological advancements. This diversity of viewpoints, unpredictability, and a lack of knowledge makes uncertainty an inescapable part of the future of engineering education.

In this workshop, we will explore uncertainty on a conceptual level and reflect on your personal experiences with uncertainty. Then, we will collaboratively develop scaffolding strategies to support students in learning to deal with uncertainty. The workshop is based on Nina Bohm鈥檚 , and she will translate her work to some concrete questions for engineering educators.

This workshop is for you if:

• You want to understand uncertainty both on a personal and a conceptual level.
• You want ideas on how to scaffold uncertainty in a (transdisciplinary) learning environment.
• You want to connect with other teachers interested in supporting engineering students to constructively engage with uncertainty.

This session will be led by dr.ir. Nina Bohm, curriculum designer at the Teaching and Learning Center of Wageningen University. Come prepared to participate, as the session will be interactive and draw on the shared experiences of the audience.

Registration for this event is free and can be done . Free lunch and drinks will be available to those attending in person.
