Empowering Engineers through Applied Sciences and Humanities
It is well known that a person’s worth is known by the kind of language he/she speaks and how effectively he/she can communicate. In today’s cross-cultural global education and work environment, the primary college course curriculum or the technical and process knowledge is insufficient. So, the academic domain knowledge and skills have to be complemented with global communication skills to develop:
- Critical thinking and reasoning (eg. problem solving, analysis, logic, cause/
effect) - Information literacy (eg. knowledge acquisition, source discernment.
Management) - Collaboration (e.g. synergy, team resourcing, social skills, leadership)
- Self direction (e.g. adaptability, initiative, personal responsibility, work ethics,
self-advocacy) - Invention (e.g. creativity, innovation, integration of ideas)
