impact of globalization.Teaching issues like cultural diversity to technical students can be a hard sell. It is not enough tosay that ABET requires it or that “Engineer 2020” desires it. We can provide lists of reasons whycertain organizations and task forces have come to see cultural understanding as an essential partof technical education. Still many technical students remain skeptical about the need to studytopics not directly related to their specializations in technology. The authors propose that thiskind of skepticism can be allayed in a classroom situation if students can be guided, through casestudies, to comprehend the connection between innovation and cultural understanding in a globaleconomy.

two-quarter, interdisciplinaryproject-based design course taught by teams of engineering and communication faculty suggeststhat providing students with instruction and coaching in communication—particularly internal,team-based communication—contributes directly to students’ mastery and understanding of thedesign process. In the course, students receive instruction in many facets of communication:writing, presenting, interacting with experts and clients. However, one hallmark of the course isthat students write and talk about design decisions beginning very early in the design process.Because the course requires our students to articulate their ideas so often and so early, thestudents perceive gaps in their own reasoning and design work that
