Özet:
The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry realizes the significance of multidisciplinary collaboration, as a result, the industry has been improving its work trends towards a more collaborative way. However, such improvement has yet not been fully adopted in the academic sector. Since universities are one of the main resources for the job positions in industry, the current state of curriculum plays an important role on preparing future practitioners and helping to change the industry to a more collaborative trend. Therefore, understanding how multidisciplinary collaboration is being addressed in the curriculum is essential. The purpose of this research is to investigate if multidisciplinary collaborative approach is being addressed in the current Ethiopian AEC education sector towards the enhancement of collaborative, communicative and coordinative skills of the students. Data is collected from multiple sources by using different collection methods in order to have a comprehensive understanding about the existing curriculum. Addis Ababa University (AAU), the first university in Ethiopia with highest number of students in the AEC faculties, is taken as a representative case study. A survey on the students, interviews with academicians, and a comprehensive curriculum review of the available AEC departments have been completed. Convergence triangulation method is used to analyze the data collected from various sources simultaneously. Result of analysis indicates that various modules, courses, and programs are available that help the students acquire cross disciplinary and theoretical knowledge, however not enough practical multidisciplinary activities are available. The research also provides insights on the potential of the current AEC curriculum towards achieving a multidisciplinary education system. Keywords: Multidisciplinary Collaboration, Architecture Engineering and Construction Education, Multidisciplinary Education System, Curriculum
