Aiming to enhance the social relevance, usability and sustainability of technological products and solutions, society and public institutions such as research funding organizations increasingly expect engineers to include inter- and transdisciplinary approaches into the development of new technologies. Engineering research and education, however, are particularly challenging areas to realize inter- and transdisciplinary collaborations, for manifold reasons.\r\nThis contribution presents methods and results of an inter- and transdisciplinary research and education strategy designed to meet the particular requirements of engineers and engineering students. It starts with a brief discussion of typical challenges regarding inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in engineering (research topics, research culture, skills, time, and barriers of lay people to involve in technology development). Secondly, it presents the methods developed to overcome those challenges within the context of the NRW Fortschrittskolleg \"Light - Efficient - Mobile\" (FK LEM). Founded in 2014, the FK LEM is a PhD programm focuses on lightweight construction, but with a special emphasis on how lightweight technologies are connected to different areas of society, to societal actors and technology users, and to the needs of a diversity of social groups. In order to explore these connections, we organized three workshops to bring public service, civil society, industry, practitioners and engineers together to discuss the perceived needs in those areas, and the potential of lightweight solutions. Topically, the workshops were dedicated to the fields of Rescue & Security Services; Care, Mobility & Assisted Living; and Sustainable Ressources & Climate Protection. Methodologically, we applied a pragmatic but valid approach to focus groups and discourse analysis. Results of the workshops in terms of directions for future research, epistemological and ethical dimensions of lightweight engineering are presented in the third part of our contribution. Finally, we discuss how our method and experience can be transferred into other engineering and educational contexts. With other words, how empowering students, engineers and the public to involve in inter- and transdisciplinary engineering processes can be achieved, and how this empowerment supports the development of innovative technologies as well as engineers’ skills to design technology in line with societies’ needs and challenges.","lang":"eng"}],"file":[{"relation":"main_file","success":1,"content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"closed","file_name":"Horwath_etal_2018.pdf","file_id":"24469","file_size":259154,"date_created":"2021-09-14T21:31:21Z","creator":"innem","date_updated":"2021-09-14T21:31:21Z"}],"status":"public","date_updated":"2022-04-21T18:18:23Z","date_created":"2021-09-14T21:30:25Z","author":[{"last_name":"Horwath","full_name":"Horwath, Ilona","first_name":"Ilona"},{"full_name":"Dohmeier-Fischer, Silvia","last_name":"Dohmeier-Fischer","first_name":"Silvia"},{"first_name":"Nathalie","last_name":"Weiß-Borkowski","full_name":"Weiß-Borkowski, Nathalie"},{"first_name":"Thomas","last_name":"Tröster","full_name":"Tröster, Thomas"}],"title":"FROM EMPOWERMENT TO INNOVATION: INTER- AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH METHODS IN LIGHTWEIGHT ENGINEERING","doi":"10.21125/inted.2018.1651","publication_status":"published","quality_controlled":"1","has_accepted_license":"1","year":"2018","citation":{"apa":"Horwath, I., Dohmeier-Fischer, S., Weiß-Borkowski, N., &#38; Tröster, T.

Yet, we observe a lack of theoretical underpinning of and epistemological insights into how literature reviews can contribute to knowledge creation and have actually contributed in the IS discipline. To address these theoretical and empirical research gaps, we suggest a novel epistemological model of literature reviews. This model allows us to align different contributions of literature reviews with their underlying knowledge conversions - thereby building a bridge between the previously largely unconnected fields of literature reviews and epistemology. We evaluate the appropriateness of the model by conducting an empirical analysis of 173 IS literature reviews which were published in 39 pertinent IS journals between 2000 and 2014. Based on this analysis, we derive an epistemological taxonomy of IS literature reviews, which complements previously suggested typologies."}],"type":"conference","publication":"International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)","title":"Theory of Knowledge for Literature Reviews: An Epistemological Model, Taxonomy and Empirical Analysis of IS Literature","date_created":"2018-11-14T14:01:13Z","author":[{"first_name":"Guido","last_name":"Schryen","full_name":"Schryen, Guido","id":"72850"},{"last_name":"Wagner","full_name":"Wagner, Gerit","first_name":"Gerit"},{"first_name":"Alexander","last_name":"Benlian","full_name":"Benlian, Alexander"}],"date_updated":"2022-01-06T07:02:10Z","oa":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Schryen, Guido, Gerit Wagner, and Alexander Benlian. “Theory of Knowledge for Literature Reviews: An Epistemological Model, Taxonomy and Empirical Analysis of IS Literature.” In <i>International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)</i>, 2015.","ieee":"G.
