Integrative Experience Activity 2
Table of Contents
In-Class Activity
You will be grouped with approximately 6 other students. The purpose is to discuss the impact of your GenEd experiences on your experience in 320 and discuss connections between software engineering and other fields. Each member of the group should share one GenEd course that they think is connected to software engineering in some way. Then discuss amongst yourselves ways in which your GenEd courses have connections to your work in this course. For each course discussed, spend some time considering and discussing what we as software engineers can learn from that other discipline.

Mention the specific GenEd course and explain its impact. Include two observations made by members in your group, as well as two of your personal thoughts about the impact that your GenEd courses might possibly make on your 320 experience. Include two observations or personal thoughts about what software engineers can learn from the other disciplines discussed. Avoid spending more than a sentence or two on "introductory" essay content.
