Abstract
The increasingly volatile, complex, ambiguous and uncertain (VUCA) nature of the world has been recognized by business leaders and others. Experiential learning offers multiple opportunities for students to actively engage in their learning and spark their interest and motivation to address complex societal problems. Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is a student-centric experiential learning method. This paper describes a proposed application of IBL based on a past incident, the collapse of a garment factory in 2013. In this proposed application, students will formulate and refine an inquiry question, and collect and analyze information focusing on the role, responsibilities and decisions made by the various stakeholders. Students will also reflect on the life cycle of a consumer product and the implications of a linear economy and supply chain perspective and their social dimensions. This analysis will be guided by the five phases of IBL. Such an approach is suitable for all types of engineering disciplines and levels.
