Join us as Dr. Robert F. Cox talks with the CILMAR staff one more time before he leaves the Purdue Polytechnic Institute to return to his alma mater, the University of Florida, to oversee the M.E. Rinker, Sr., School of Construction Management in the College of Design, Construction and Planning. Dr. Cox has been a long-time supporter of CILMAR initiatives, and we can’t tell you how much we will miss him!
Before he trades his black and gold for orange and blue, we asked Dr. Cox to stop by for a conversation about the evolution of his Technology and Global Society (TECH 330) course. This capstone course for tomorrow’s technology worker examines the interplay of technology, globalization and ethics; and uses a common intercultural competence instrument to help students better understand their personal ability to work effectively across difference. Dr. Cox will discuss what he has learned by asking “techies” to reflect on their own intercultural competence for several years, as well as how he changed the course to both support and challenge his students due to the COVID-19 shift to an all-online learning environment.
