Joint Engineering & Business course - EE459/MKT446
USC Viterbi and Marshall School students are brough together to work on an interactive project in an effort to encourage communication and cooperation between students from different schools. Most engineering students know very little or nothing about marketing the products they help create, while marketing students usually lack valuable insight in product design and development. This innovative class is instrumental at bridging the gap between the two groups and encouraging them to function together as a whole.

Engineers as Communicators
In a unique seminar of engineering and theater, led by two professional communicators, Viterbi students learned one of the essential ingredients of effective public speaking: to focus on the audience and not on yourself. Coordinated by the Engineering Writing Program and the Klein Institute for Undergraduate Engineering Life (KIUEL) - and featuring actor Alan Alda as a special guest - the workshop was designed to build communications skills by giving students a safe environment in which they could relax and experiment creatively with public speaking.

Engineering & Math
The Center for the Instruction in Mathematics to Engineering Students (CIMES) is an excercise designed to add an engineering approach to math classes taught at Viterbi, with the goal to make students' math experience easier and help them gauge the relevance that math classes have in the broader engineering curriculum.
