The paper describes interdisciplinary pedagogy across six disciplines in our IGERT. This paper has provided an outcomes assessment of the modules within the courses and provided a valuable input on the sustainable infrastructure curriculum development. Cohorts have moved on to their research phase and the educational component is no longer active.
