Integrated Multidisciplinary-Holistic Engineering Education: An Alternative Perspective Dr. Deepak Laxmanrao Waikar Managing Partner, EduEnergy, Singapore Member, All Hands Advisory Committee, IUCEE Foundation, India Chair, The IEEE Education Society, Singapore Chapter Synopsis: Designing, developing, deploying, and delivering the curriculum itself is a highly complex and very time-consuming process. It becomes even an extremely gruesome and the most challenging exercise when it has to satisfy the ever-growing greed and conflicting needs of the 21st Century stakeholders. As such the multidisciplinary curriculum and holistic education have been emphasised in the Indian National Education Policy 2020. As there are varying perceptions and interpretations of the “Multidisciplinary” and “Holistic” terms, minimal easy to implement aspects have been considered and proposed while keeping the current system almost intact. What can be done to further strengthen and enhance it? How to infuse, incorporate, and integrate multidisciplinary attributes with holistic features in the mainstream curriculum of the current system that too in such an unprecedented scenario is the theme of this presentation. The key features of the proposed BESTm model for integrated multidisciplinary-holistic education will be highlighted. The crucial role of technology and pragmatic implementation strategies will also be discussed.
