Abstract | Interdisciplinary thinking is gaining momentum as an important topic for empirical investigation, particularly in regard to how crossing disciplinary boundaries can enrich teaching and learning across fields. There is a need for researchers who can think and work at the interdisciplinary interface. However, despite increased attention given to interdisciplinarity as a goal, there remains much to understand about the nature of interdisciplinary work and who is doing it. This study focuses on one particular interdisciplinary setting: engineering education--an interdisciplinary space at the interface between engineering and education perspectives. Findings emerged regarding three major elements of the process of becoming an interdisciplinary researcher: (1) the points of entry to this type of work and to the interdisciplinary space where this work takes place; (2) what facilitates people's continued work in and navigation through this space; and (3) strategies for successful interdisciplinarity.
