Global Engineering: What do We Mean by It and How are We Preparing our Students for It?

Dr. Giovannelli, Director of the Herbst Program of Humanities, has taught literature and philosophy seminars to engineers at CU Boulder since 1989. She has also designed and taught multiple courses at the intersection of STEM and Humanities/Social Science, including Engineering in History, The History of Modern Science, and The History of Western Medicine. All of her courses use texts from many disciplines, nations, and eras to bring students to self-knowledge through encounters with the Other. (This is most obvious in her latest new course, A Global State of Mind.) Whatever the subject, her courses are grounded in accountability–to the text, to oneself, and to one’s fellows.
