MULTI-DISCIPLINARY MODELLING KNOWLEDGE AS A PRAGMATIC SOLUTION IN ENGINEERING AND BUSINESS EDUCATION

Some conclusions of the internationals workshops realized by the article's authors in the University of Pitesti, in the last two years, entitled Exploratory Domains of Econophysics. News (EDEN I and II), are pragmatically the main motivations of this paper. Its structures aims a detailed presentation in its introductory section, of a number of scientological aspects, intending to give reasons for the ever more significant part played by multi-disciplinary approaches in the collaboration between Engineering, Physics, Sociology, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics and Business education The second section of the paper develops the contemporary concept of multi - disciplinary modelling, also identifying major principles of the multi-disciplinary models and the coverage of these models in academic research and education. In some final remarks state some conclusions connected with a number of interdependences between science and culture, research and education, underlying the obsolete tendency of isolation in mono or unique discipline model and the contemporary unifying one of multi-disciplinary model Thence, the culture of multi-disciplinary modelling remains a practical issue, not certainly in as far as that culture is regarded only as a product of academic life, but life (academic education) having become, in that sense, a consequence or an imprint of engineering and business culture at the same time.
