Incorporating Evolutionary Acquisition into Interdisciplinary Research Project Management

What should be done when interdisciplinary research involves systems development? This work proposes an answer that involves Interdisciplinary Research Project Management and Evolutionary Acquisition. The former is a strategy to increase productivity of interdisciplinary research through Project Management concepts and Problem-Based Learning; the latter is a system development methodology. Hence, this paper aims to provide a methodology for systems development that use or involve interdisciplinary research; the methods are Interdisciplinary Research Project Management, Project Based Learning and Evolutionary Acquisition; and the main result is summarized in a diagram where Evolutionary Acquisition is incorporated into Interdisciplinary Research Project Management.
