Giving
The Herbst Program of Humanities in Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder invites you to participate in the education of well-read, well-rounded engineers
The program seeks support in its efforts to cause engineering students to:
- identify and express their own most deeply-held values and explain the origins and importance of these values; question these values in comparison to the values embodied in the texts we examine
- present a point of view convincingly, with carefully-chosen supporting evidence, in the process of interacting live with peers
- demonstrate clarity of argument and expression in written essays and public presentation
- interrogate their world consciously and intentionally
- wrestle confidently with questions that have no absolute and unequivocal answers, and appreciate that the process of asking and answering such questions can and should be rigorous
- read sustained, intellectually challenging texts rhetorically, to assess how writers make and support claims, sustain arguments and analyses, position themselves in relation to audiences, and write their way into complex issues
- weigh alternate evidence and points of view and come to a satisfactory determination of the validity of an argument
