Course description and aims

Innovation does not come from "solitary contemplation" (monologue), but from "exploratory dialogue" (dialogue). The essence of dialogue, and of communication, is listening and communicating. Communication skills are often confused with so-called sociability, but they are not the same thing. While sociability is a human characteristic, communicative skills can be improved by learning. In this lecture, we will learn "listening" and "communicating" through (1) lecture, (2) exercise, and (3) discussion in order to improve communication skills, which are essential for researchers, engineers, and members of society, through relating to a communication method called "coaching". The course is interactive and experiential.
