EOP Learning Community #6:

Public speaking techniques for engineers and computer scientists

DESCRIPTION:
This Learning Community is comprised of: Communication Studies 5 – Communication Experience, Engineering 1A- Fundamentals of Engineering and the lab and Learning Skills 39B – Group Tutorial. This community was created to help new freshman students, who may have an interest in these fields, adapt to the university and all its processes, clarify their educational goals and get to know the classmates they will work with, hopefully, until graduation. Students will have opportunities to meet engineering faculty and students in the major. Students will also conduct career searches looking at the employment outlook, pay scales and preparation for the technology and engineering fields. Communication Studies will provide you with theory and techniques as well as practice in public speaking—important skills in today’s economy. The 39b course will provide you with the study strategies and academic support to promote academic success. Other social activities in the community will be designed to enrich your learning experience.

Pre-requisites: This community is recommended for students with interests in the engineering and computer science.
