Engineering Emotional Intelligence
Course aims
Emotional intelligence is of particular importance for engineers as they have to work with people outside of their field. To become a truly great engineering manager, one needs to develop a strong ability to recognize and manage emotions of others while solving problems or making decisions. This course is organized around a methodology that helps students progress from personal awareness and knowledge to interpersonal development and organizational development.
