Engineering Trust Across Cultures
(2.0 units)
Every manager and team member must
know how to create a trusting environment
to increase creativity, productivity, and
morale in their team. The decision to trust
is influenced by one's cultural norms,
values, and other life experiences that in
turn impact how team members behave
in the workplace setting. Those behaviors,
driven by the desire to trust or be trusted,
can be similar or contrary. This course uses
lecture, class discussion, video analysis,
experiential activities, and a 4-factor
model for trust development to develop
the student’s understanding of culture’s
influence on the decision to trust in the
workplace.

Writing and the Research
Process for Engineers
(4.0 units)
This course is designed for students who
plan to pursue careers in science and
engineering fields. Students learn valuable
techniques and tools that enable them
to become effective communicators of
technical material, capable of organizing
and expressing ideas to satisfy the
demands of both general and specialist
audiences. The writing assignments mirror
actual tasks awaiting participants both in
school and in the workplace. Writing tasks
are both individually and collaboratively
based. Through hands-on activities,
students learn genres significant to their
fields of interest, such as writing usability
reports, proposals, formal business letters,
and cover letters. Oral presentations
supplement some writing assignments.
Additionally, research plays a core role in
the development of such genres, whereby
students produce documents exhibiting
historical knowledge, including ethical and
legal issues, in addition to adhering to fieldspecific norms for incorporating citations of
outside sources. In the process, students
learn how to become critical evaluators
of their own communication skills by
evaluating the written work of peers.

utilization of green materials and their
significance in today's building practices
in home design and construction. Through
lectures and site visits, students gain
exposure to real green building projects,
products, and professionals in the field.
