We also think a society that has a low level of cultural diversity (CD) tends to be more democratic since people find it easier to trust one another and therefore are more willing to delegate negotiated power to the authority of the government.

  • Careers In Software Engineering

    The training of civil engineering is one example of how the tools and teaching process have improved with new technology. For example, in the past civil engineering began with the students drawing by hand the plans and indicating the measurements and specifications needed to design and construct public and private works on paper. Today, civil engineering students learn how to use different design software to design, improve or build structures. In the early 1900s, students graduating from engineering programs were very well trained for their specific discipline, but lacked the communication skills and experience in the field to properly use their knowledge. “New graduates were technically well prepared but lacked the professional skills for success in a competitive, innovative, global marketplace.”
