Dear I2D List Faculty, Please see information (below) from Brent Jesiek about a Spring semester class on Globalization that he is team teaching with Jennifer DeBoer. Also, attached, is a related Spring semester course on international development that I have teaching slots in, as well as many others. It is Agronomy, but perfectly applicable to any student who is interested in this topic. Note that undergrads need permission to enroll from their advisors. Best wishes, and Lovely Celebrations to you all, Andrea Andrea Burniske Program Manager, I 2D Lab Global Engineering Programs, 4th Floor, Wang Hall Purdue University West Lafayette, IN Ph: 765.496.3533 Skype: AndreaLaBurniske https://engineering.purdue.edu/GEP/I2DLab Punctuated Equilibrium - the hypothesis that evolutionary development is marked by isolated episodes of rapid speciation between long periods of little or no change From: Jesiek, Brent K Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2016 3:47 PM To: Burniske, Andrea E <Andreaburniske@purdue.edu> Subject: Fw: Engineering and Globalization (ENE55400) - Spring 2017 Hi Andrea, We are trying to get word out about a Spring 2017 graduate course that Jennifer DeBoer and I are teaching for the first time: ENE55400 - Engineering and Globalization. More details below. Might you kindly forward this information to the I2D mailing list? Thanks and happy holidays! Brent (and Jennifer) -- ENE55400 - Engineering and Globalization - Spring 2017 Mondays, 10:30-1:20 PM, ARMS 3109 CRN 19958 The focus of this course is on the multifaceted economic, social, cultural, and technological dynamics of globalization, including associated impacts on engineering education and practice. The course emphasizes engineering, globalization, cultural identity, and society primarily from the perspectives of the emerging Asian economies and Europe, as well as the United States. The course includes a number of historical and contemporary case studies, offering opportunities for exploration of topics and themes such as global knowledge economies and migration, international and transnational institutions, and economic development. It is taught within a learner-centric, highly interactive, collaborative learning environment in which students are expected to learn from one another, as well as from the instructor and other course resources. The course places particular emphasis on oral and written communication skills, intercultural development, web-based research, and information literacy. Engineering and Globalization is designed for engineering students, educators, and practicing professionals who have engaged, or expect to engage, with global or multicultural projects.
