EDUC 000/2041 - Education in Historic & Modern Cairo (3 cr.)


Description
How were Egyptian citizens educated during different historical periods? This course explores the answer of this question through the experiential learning pedagogy based on Kolb’s theory of learning that requires concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation. With this theoretical background, the course includes field trips to “Historic Cairo” and its distinguished masterpieces of medieval art and architecture, museums, churches and mosques of central significance in Egyptian history. The overall goal of this course is to help undergraduate students take advantage of the various learning opportunities that are available in the rich laboratory of Cairo through a comprehensive interdisciplinary course. The course brings together students from various disciplines, such as engineering, arts, and the sciences.
