Abstract

This brief paper describes a series of initiatives at one university in the Midwest, where faculty combined a humanities-driven focus on Latin America with our STEM-heavy curriculum, creating new courses and programs for students in all majors. The primary goal was increased cultural and communicative understanding among our engineering majors through opportunities for in-depth humanities-based study, while increasing engagement with international issues and experiences among our humanities majors. Faculty from humanities and STEM disciplines collaborated to integrate humanities pedagogy with existing programs in Latin America in order to improve cultural understanding and communication skills in undergraduate students across all majors. We met these challenges through new offerings of culturally-focused coursework, academics-focused study-abroad trips, cross-disciplinary courses, and experiential learning activities.
课程之外的写作:拉丁美洲主题激发创新教学法
这篇简短的论文描述了中西部一所大学的一系列举措,该大学的教师将以人文学科为导向的拉丁美洲重点与我们的stem课程相结合,为所有专业的学生创建了新的课程和项目。主要目标是通过深入的人文学科研究机会,增加我们工程专业学生之间的文化和交流理解,同时增加我们人文专业学生对国际问题和经验的参与。来自人文学科和STEM学科的教师合作,将人文学科教学法与拉丁美洲的现有课程相结合,以提高所有专业本科生的文化理解和沟通技巧。我们通过提供以文化为中心的课程、以学术为中心的出国留学旅行、跨学科课程和体验式学习活动来应对这些挑战。
