Engineering haveplaced an emphasis on the need to better prepare engineering and science professionals to worksuccessfully within the team-based structures of today’s organizations. Additionally, engineeringcurriculum experts have called for the inclusion of leadership and managerial decision makingtraining for engineers within graduate and undergraduate programs. To address this need, wehave developed lecture and laboratory material that directly examines the social and politicalaspects of engineering through the use of experimentation, data analysis, and computersimulation.This material was used in a new interdisciplinary junior level course with approximately 30students from a wide range of disciplines. Using a modular format we examined concepts

With one group we spent 3 to 5 hours over several meetings discussingwhat sample size would be large enough to have a negligible random uncertainty, but as small aspossible in order to save time in data collection. This was a level of subtlety we had neverreached with students in this course in the past.Students realized the importance of investing the effort to understanding prior work on a similarproject.

Thecourse, which focuses equally on design and communication, has been collaborativelyconceived, planned, and taught by a multi-disciplinary faculty from the College of Arts andSciences Writing Program and several engineering disciplines. Each small section is team-taughtby a faculty member from engineering and the writing program.

The writingcourses were developed over 40 years ago as a “one size fits all” answer to a large generaleducation requirement at a small school that produced fewer than 60 engineers annually. Withthe growth of engineering students in the past decade, The Citadel developed the technicalwriting and communication course to meet the demand of engineering faculty and industrypartners.
