Lights! Camera! Accion! Intercultural Films Created by STEM Students

Abstract

Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) is comprised of four engineering programs, namely Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, and Petroleum. The engineering students who opted to take Intercultural Communication (ICC) as a course elective during Summer Semester 2018 embarked on a journey that involved the analysis of intercultural miscommunication. Through the study of various student-created films, this ethnically diverse group of ICC students questioned and addressed their own communication strategies as they sought to improve intercollegiate communication in and out of the workplace. This paper shares findings based on ICC student feedback that reassert the importance of intercultural communication in a glocalized world.
