    Psychology course?

    and persuasively can enhance collaboration with
    non-technical stakeholders, such as project
    managers and clients.

    environment, whether in a team or as leaders in
    future roles.

    CSE students for leadership roles, teaching
    them how to inspire and manage tech teams
    effectively.
    6. Conflict Resolution

    interpersonal conflicts can be invaluable in
    collaborative tech environments where differing
    opinions may arise.
    Cont’d
    7. Organizational Awareness
    Understanding organizational behavior can help
    CSE students navigate workplace dynamics and
    align their technical skills with business goals.
    8. Career Advancement
    A broader skill set that includes an
    understanding of human behavior can make CSE
    graduates more competitive in the job
    market, particularly for roles that blend
    technology with business strategy.
    Introduction
    Traditionally, most schools’ coursework
    emphasizes the technical aspects of
    their core subjects.
    Coursework on human behavior in
    organizations receives relatively less
    attention. This might be surprising
    because “the people make the
    place”. Organizations are only as
    effective as the people who comprise
    them, so shouldn’t we try to understand
    people in the workplace as well as how
    we make decisions, communicate, and
    interact with one another?
