PDENG 57 Integrating Professional Skills for a Global Workplace

Professional Development for Engineering Students (2009-2010)

Integrating Professional Skills for a Global Workplace is a substitute for the capstone course (PDENG 55) in the PDEng Programme. The theme of "understanding one's duty" is core to all of the PDENG courses, and PDENG 57 revolves around "Duty to Society". The course focuses on what is, and should be, the role of engineers in society as advocates for public welfare at the local, national, and global levels; and how one can expand their basic professional development skills to be a better advocate. This course is open only to students in their 4B term who are expected by their department to meet all of their graduation requirements with the exception of PDENG 55 by the end of the Winter 2009 term.
