    COURSE: SOCIOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT SPRING : 2021


    Credit Hours: 3.0 Practical = 00
    Contact Hours = 48

    Learning Objectives:

    The main objective of this course is to apprise potential engineers about social factors
    that contribute towards enhancing their professional performance for the good of
    society and the country. This course is culture specific and has to be taught within the
    context of local and national socio-economic environment. The engineers are
    expected to supervise several people in different capacities and their understanding
    about human behavior is critical for their optimum performance. Modification of
    human behavior or getting work done from sub-ordinates and seniors remain a major
    challenge for all the professional engineers. This course will enhance understanding
    about the determinants of human behavior, which ultimately will result in improved
    individual efficiency.
