Yeah, so related to as you are working on continuing to develop and improve your course, any things that have come up where you think the Wider project could be of assistance to you in continuing to what you continue to work or and what you all see down the pipeline?
Interviewee: I am think about our class in particular, so I am probably less than what everybody else is doing in Wider. I know there are large course revisions, for us mostly, within engineering and our course, how does improving the skills in writing for engineers look. We know it’s a problem and how do we work with the faculty here and the people that know how to do the writing systematic, to make it better. That would be once thing, because our courses are one course in a …show more content…
Interviewee: I am actually looking forward to the course being a requirement, I am also looking to how it integrates into the curriculum. I think our curriculum is quite old and has been the same for 34 years, with some minor adjustments. That excites me to see us transform our curriculum. We have a lot of new courses and a lot of new faculty and so, I know we are close to the time where we can actually transform our curriculum, not necessarily dump a bunch of course, but refocus what it means to be a civil engineer and what the courses need to look like for this generation of engineers.
Especially in terms of writing, and the very technical skills they’ll need, are very different than 30 years ago. There were no computers or large sets of data 30 years ago. There was no need to have a lot of communication like we do now. There are different skills that we need now that weren’t needed in the curriculum 34 years ago.
Interviewer: Those are all of the questions that I have, is there anything else that I didn’t ask about that you want to
