Interdisciplinary areas: Lessons learned and new challenges

摘要

In the paper we discuss our recent experience and lessons learned from education in interdisciplinary areas, such as biomedical engineering, cybernetics and robotics, and multimedia. We explain briefly the differences among these areas concerning the individual disciplines and their mutual relations. Then we discuss the requirements resulting from new application areas of engineering and technology. Finally we describe our current effort in establishing integrated laboratory facility for interdisciplinary hands-on laboratory practice.
