UniCEN Partnership: A New Course on Global Water-Related Issues
UniCEN Partners Colorado State University (CSU) and Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers (TIIAME) recently successfully launched a joint course. The course was conducted under the framework of a joint UniCEN project between the two universities - “Training a New Genaration of Engineers to Face Global Water Challenges.”
The course received extremely positive feedback from students – many of whom reported learning from one another and significantly expanded perspectives on global water-related issues.
The class was taught virtually through Zoom, and despite significant time differences saw full attendance throughout the semester. Instructors also employed collaborative pedagogical techniques to engage students, including collaborative projects through Google Slides and Jamboard, discussion posts and virtual interaction, and group presentations.
