Technical Communications
ENGI 2304H teaches the forms and methods of engineering writing through group reports and presentations. Students will read two novels and will choose topics based on the technical subjects in those novels. Then the groups will write reports and present their information to the rest of the class. The course will also include topics such as engineering ethics and contemporary engineering issues.
Some of the course will transpire on line. I have had great success with lively discussion boards, reading completion quizzes, and viewing of video productions-all happening outside of class. Our class meetings, thus, concentrate on lecture and discussion at a high level. The formal requirements include quizzes, discussion board posts, a midterm exam, two papers, and a final reflective portfolio. Likely works on the syllabus include Titus Andronicus, The Rape of Lucrece, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Henry V, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Coriolanus (and Ralph Fiennes film, 2011).

This course looks at Shakespeare’s works by focusing on his representations of the Roman Empire; how ideas of national identity (Roman and English) are shaped by ideas of gender, race, and power; and how the theatre conveyed a sense of Elizabethan England as a modern nation. This focus, meant to lend some common ground to our collective study, reflects current critical interest in the field of Shakespeare and early modern cultural studies. My goal is to help you build and strengthen your confidence as readers/viewers/ and critics of the Bard. We will contextualize our readings of the plays and poem within historical and critical contexts; for example, primary sources like Plutarch’s Parallel Lives, and recent literary studies in gender and empire studies. The required text is Stephen Greenblatt, Ed. The Norton Shakespeare. New York: W.W. Norton, 2008 (on order at the UC Bookstore, used and new copies). All the other material will be found on the course web site. I expect everyone to come to class, stay up on the reading, and view the BBC video productions for each play.
