Human resources MS students in LER (Labor and Employment Relations) 590 UE – Understanding Engineers are blogging about engineers and engineering. Their blogs are aggregated on Friendfeed (here).
The course introduces soon-to-be HR professionals to engineers and engineering through a variety of perspectives, historical, philosophical, and technical. The course texts include two classics The Revolt of the Engineers and Engineering and the Mind’s Eye, and the students complete two SEEs or simulated engineering experiences as part of the course.
The course syllabus is available here. The course is taught by iFoundry co-director David E. Goldberg, and more information about it may be obtained by contacting him directly (deg@illinois.edu).
