B E (A S M) 392 Contextual Integration of Leadership Skills for the Technical Workplace (2)
A B E/A S M 392 is the second half of a two-semester experience in corporate-focused leadership and communication skills training. The sequence is formatted into two 2- credit courses (second semester Junior for A B E/A S M 391 and first semester senior for the A B E/A S M 392 course). A key facet of this training is the contextual approach taken. All course modules focus on leadership and communication needs of industry within its corresponding technical content — thereby representing a complete contextual approach. To meet the needs of the student, the course will reflect clear understanding of leadership and communication but also appreciate critical aspects of the technical content of student’s work and of the industries within which the students will ultimately work. The primary focus of A B E/A S M 392 is on leadership, with communication and career issues the secondary focus. The course provides students with interactions with individuals from industry (company visitors, industry trips, and recruiting opportunities). Topics developed for A B E/A S M 392 include personal development, ethical decision-making, corporate social responsibility, strategic group management, facilitation, and diversity.
