Brillhart, L.; Debs, M. B.

Improving College and University Teaching, v30 n2 p80-85 Spr 1982

A one-hour introductory engineering course and a three-hour rhetoric course were combined at Triton College as a means of introducing the interrelationships of the humanities and technology and to demonstrate the applicability of a non-major humanities course to engineering. Course results show consistently higher achievement and student satisfaction. (MSE)
