Engineering and International Development (CEGE0025)

The Engineering and International Development module will introduce the concepts of development and help students assess the role of engineering in the development process by engaging with theory and research. It will explore the relationship between engineering, education and community in contexts of poverty and inequality. Although the focus of development work is typically on low- and middle-income countries, the focus of this module is to develop within students a mindset that is applicable to any community-led sustainable development project.

Learning Outcomes – Upon completion of this course you should be able to:

Define the term ‘international development’;
	Identify some of the major drivers and constraints (including societal, economic, institutional and environmental) that must be considered when developing sustainable infrastructure;
	Identify common reasons for both success and failure in international development projects.

The objective of this module, specially designed for the Minors programme in Environmental Engineering, is to introduce some of the main principles of...

Sociolinguistics and Sociocultural Theory (CCME0050)

This module offers students who are interested in second and foreign language education the opportunity to develop a critical awareness and thorough understanding of key issues related to sociolinguistics and sociocultural theory as they impact on the classroom. After considering fundamental issues such as the 'social turn' in applied linguistics and TESOL, the module will focus on a range of topics, including multilingualism and multilingual learners, the notion of the native and the non-native speaker, speech communities and communities of practice, scaffolding and collaborative dialogue, language variation, and language and culture that are core to M-level study in the Applied Linguistics and TESOL (ALT) group. Connections will be made to personal experience and professional practice in second language education and second language policy.
