Louisiana Tech is one of the few select schools in the World to have a dedicated GC Scholars Program. As a member of this program, students pursue topics that are shaping tomorrow, gain appreciation and understanding of cultures around the world, and graduate as an internationally-recognized GC Scholar. There are 5 core competencies that students explore as part of the GCSP. These make up the "curricular plan" for students
Louisiana Tech faculty are ready to help you create your own, personalized plan that walks through these elements. The good news is, you're doing some of these already as part of your regular curriculum:
Talent Competency: a mentored creative experience on a Grand Challenge-like topic
Multidisciplinary Competency: understanding the multidisciplinarity of engineering systems
Viable Business/Entrepreneurship Competency: understanding the necessity of a viable business model to implement solutions
Multicultural Competency: understanding different cultures to ensure cultural acceptance of proposed solutions
Social Consciousness Competency: understanding that engineering solutions should primarily serve people and society, reflecting social consciousness
