语言专家单独提供的写作课程,如果没有工程师同事的合作,对提高工程师的写作能力几乎没有帮助。在工程课程中处理人际沟通问题的最有效方法是有意识地将这些过程与语言专家合作纳入正在进行的工程课程。这样做实际上消除了试图为另一门课程找到一个插槽的普遍性问题。把重点放在工程教室中的人际交往,促进不同背景的人与各种知识和经验,新的工程课程的主要目标之间的多学科互动。
Separate writing courses offered by language specialists without the benefit of collaboration from their engineering colleagues can do little to improve the ability of engineers to express themselves in writing. The most effective way of dealing with issues of human communication in engineering curriculums is to consciously and deliberately integrate these processes into ongoing engineering courses in collaboration with language specialists. Doing so virtually eliminates the universal timetabling problem of trying to find a slot for yet another course. Putting a focus on human communication in engineering classrooms promotes multidisciplinary interaction among people of diverse backgrounds with various kinds of knowledge and experience, a major objective of the new engineering curriculums.
