Incorporating the SAGE (Student Choice, Authentic Work, Global Experiences, Exhibition to a Real-World Audience) framework into course design has been a transformative journey, enriching both the content and learning outcomes across various modules.
One notable adaptation involves introducing a new assignment centered on creating a how-to-text and a marketing campaign for opening a new project. This project not only emphasizes authentic work but also encourages students to explore global influences in welding applications/processes and manufacturing business, aligning with the SAGE framework's emphasis on global experiences. By incorporating elements of market analysis and cultural sensitivity, students will gain practical insights into international business operations while honing their communication and analytical skills.
