Abstract
To prepare undergraduates for complex careers, interdisciplinary higher education is gaining popularity. However, implementing interdisciplinary learning in engineering management is challenging due to the complex and intertwined knowledge structures. While smart education platforms provide access to extensive knowledge bases, the intricate web of relationships can overwhelm undergraduates. Therefore, innovative technologies are needed to create a coherent knowledge system. Knowledge graphs, derived from artificial intelligence, are pivotal tools for connecting knowledge points across courses. This study begins by explaining the necessity of constructing interdisciplinary knowledge graphs. It then uses engineering management as a case study to outline a strategic framework for developing a knowledge graph. Finally, it analyses the benefits and challenges of applying knowledge graphs in interdisciplinary higher education.
期刊介绍:
The prime aims of the European Journal of Education are: - To examine, compare and assess education policies, trends, reforms and programmes of European countries in an international perspective - To disseminate policy debates and research results to a wide audience of academics, researchers, practitioners and students of education sciences - To contribute to the policy debate at the national and European level by providing European administrators and policy-makers in international organisations, national and local governments with comparative and up-to-date material centred on specific themes of common interest.
