Extended abstract: Transfers and intersections: An interdisiplinary route to communication skills development

摘要

Engineering and Humanities Intersections is an ongoing research project that investigates four sites in which engineering students engage with subjects in the liberal arts: three humanities electives offered through the Engineering Communication Program at the University of Toronto, and a student organized theatre revue, also at that institution. Using data from interviews with student participants in two of the three humanities electives, this presentation will examine the particular activities and experiences that students identify as contributing to improved communication, and review strategies that can be integrated into more traditional communication courses in the engineering curriculum.
