This course serves as an introduction to Catalan cinema. It showcases the best of new fiction, documentary, and experimental films, with the aim of fostering an appreciation and deeper understanding of Catalan culture through the medium of film. The Catalan Film Festival also aims to cultivate a deeper understanding of the past, present, and future achievements of Catalan filmmaking within the university setting. Films are screened specifically for students, and they are accompanied by critical introductions from scholars and filmmakers.

This course fulfills the University's Junior Year Writing Requirement for students in the College of Engineering. Students will be introduced to traditional technical and scientific writing forms, including outlines, summaries, mechanical and technical descriptions, extended technical definitions, research reports, and proposals. Grammar review, oral presentations and on-line research are significant components of this course. Students will also investigate ethics in engineering practice and research.
