Common Units
CUC107 - Cultural Intelligence and Capability
Cultural Intelligence and Capability explores important issues related to living, studying, and working as a professional in the diverse social and cultural environments of contemporary society. The unit examines broad interactions between culture, knowledge, experience, and behavior and the way in which these interactions and our perceptions of culture shape our interactions at a personal, academic, and professional level. It explores the notion of cultural intelligence and the need for people to be capable of identifying and analyzing the complex cultural dynamics of their interpersonal, academic, and professional interactions and developing places for people to operate safely and effectively. The study program for this unit provides a structure for students to reflect upon, analyze, and articulate how you respond to the complex cultural circumstances into which you are immersed as a student and as a graduate in your chosen profession.
CUC106 - Design and Innovation: Communicating Technology
Design and Innovation provides students with the opportunity to learn about design, sustainable community development, team work, and communication while contributing towards real community development projects. Students work in multidisciplinary teams to design solutions for projects ranging from water supply and quality to sanitation, health, and education programs, and other infrastructure developments. Developing creative solutions and building prototypes is a major focus in this unit. The other component, academic literacy skills, is approached in the context of researching and communicating about the design project.
