Baelus, C. Lacko, D. Faculty Industrial Design Engineering Department Design Engineering Date 2012-12-31 Abstract The European Project Semester (EPS) programme offers an educational framework to support students to practice problem-and project-based cross-disciplinary product innovation and research, in small multidisciplinary and international teams. To explore the potential and the restrictions of this international educational concept, in 2012 the Artesis University College became the first Belgian EPS provider to offer a multidisciplinary EPS programme in close collaboration with the following study programs: product development, engineering, business studies, social work and teacher training. This paper reflects on the learning process for the teaching staff and the 16 students who have participated to the first edition. First, insights related to the preparation, initiation and overall implementation of this new multidisciplinary teaching approach and interdepartmental semester program are discussed. Second, we focus especially on one specific EPS project which addressed the development of smart textile applications in health care. Reflections and lessons learned are shared from the complementary perspective of the EPS study programme coordinator, the ’smart textile applications’ team supervisor and an engineering student who participated in this project.
