Transversal Skills Workshops: Ethics + Social Responsibility / CAPE

Engineers, architects and scientists must have more than just excellent technical knowledge and skills to provide leadership and solutions for the challenges faced by society. While curricula courses develop the technical skills specific to each discipline, there is an accompanying set of transversal skills that employers and society require graduates to master in order to fully leverage their skills and knowledge. These competences include, but are not limited to, negotiation, conflict resolution, critical thinking, intra- and interpersonal communication skills, inclusion, sustainability and ethical reasoning.

The EPFL Vice-Presidency for Education has put strong emphasis on the need for teaching and learning transversal skills at scale across campus. This aim is supported by the College of Management whose main mission involves offering courses that enrich the management skills of future engineers. This is key to enabling EPFL students to access high level management positions such that they can leverage their skills and knowledge.
Within this frame the teaching support center is organizing a series of workshops in April, from 17:15-18:30 open to ALL EPFL students.
