I am using Global Engineering Cultures and Practice Learning Community for the community project in Engl 106. In order to complete my PSA video, I will need some pictures of activities that our learning community has sponsored. The pictures should exemplify the friendships we have formed in the GELC, and show how much fun it is to be in the learning community. I was hoping somebody reading this will have some pictures that you could copy to me so I can make my PSA authentic to the GELC. Also, I will be making a brochure and website about GELC and I was hoping you could provide some suggestions as to what you would like to see in a media that is advertising our learning community. Perhaps you have an issue with the learning community that you would like me to address, or you think you have a unique reason for being in the learning community. I will be happy to hear whatever you have to say, so don’t feel like your input is not worth my time, it is. Don’t get me wrong, I am not being lazy by trying to get you to do my project for me; I was just hoping to get alternative perspectives from other members of the learning community before I make these advertisements that represent us. I have my own ideas and perspective of the learning community, but I know that I am just one person of over 30 in the learning community and that I can’t possibly know what everyone thinks about the Global Engineering Learning Community. So, if you have any suggestions or have some pictures of GELC activities, please leave a comment and let me know. If you do have a picture, I will let you know how to send it to me.
Thanks,
Slim

ReplyDeleteYou should focus on some of the fun activities and more serious activities that the Global Engineering Learning Community does. Examples of some of the fun activities that we do are the billiards night and bowling night. Some examples of the more serious academic-related things we do are these blogs and the in-class speakers that give the class ideas of what engineering is like around the world and how different cultures affect engineering. I think that an issue you should address is a need for more out of class events that are related to global engineering. Perhaps suggest a day where we can workshop (on a small scale) what it would be like to work with engineers of other countries and cultures. It could also help to have example scenarios and stories of engineers of different cultures working together to solve, or not solve, challenges. I think the best part of the GELC is the guest speakers that come in to talk during engineering 103 class because it really is a good way to step back and see what engineering is all about.
