About

Mousumi Roy is a researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of engineering education, interdisciplinarity, and management practice, with a particular focus on how evolving industrial paradigms reshape academic and organizational structures. Her most notable contribution, "The Rise of Interdisciplinarity in Engineering Education in the Era of Industry 4.0" (2021), has garnered 36 citations and offers a sweeping historical analysis — tracing the fluidity of knowledge boundaries from the 15th through 18th centuries to the hyper-specialized disciplinary silos of the industrial revolutions — ultimately arguing that Industry 4.0 demands a return to integrated, cross-disciplinary thinking with profound implications for management practice. Building on this foundational work, her 2024 follow-up, "The Growth of Interdisciplinarity in Engineering Education in the 21st Century," continues to interrogate how contemporary educational systems must adapt to prepare engineers for increasingly complex, boundary-spanning challenges. Roy's scholarship is both historically grounded and forward-looking, making her a valuable voice for educators, administrators, and policymakers navigating the cultural and structural transformation of engineering education in an era defined by technological disruption and unprecedented disciplinary convergence.
