This upper-level course is designed to equip students with essential communication skills tailored for the globalized science and engineering sectors.

Module I: Emphasizing both written and verbal communication, this module covers diverse contexts ranging from technical audiences to public outreach. Students will learn how to translate complex professional information, such as manuals of Chineseand brands and proudcts, for international markets, particularly in fields like video games and intercultural communication. A guest lecture series will provide real-world insights into the challenges of global communication.

Module II: The course also explores the role of science journalism and the societal 2 responsibilities of scientists and engineers. Students will develop strategies for communicating scientific and technical information to both non-expert and expert audiences, focusing on peer-reviewed journals and public relations. Topics like risk communication and the ethical implications of scientific work will be critically examined.

Module III: In addition to written communication, students will build leadership skills essential for academic and professional success, such as profile management, networking, and project management. Special emphasis will be placed on grant and proposal writing, crucial for securing research funding.

A hands-on writing workshop in design fiction will offer a creative outlet for exploring future scenarios, while a field trip will provide practical exposure to the real-world applications of communication in science and engineering. This course blends theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to prepare students for effective communication in diverse professional contexts.
