Abstract: Students can be stimulated and challenged when exposed to new ways of looking at and approaching traditional course content.This paper reports the results of a faculty "Unlikely Partners" collaboration that brought an economics professor into an Environmental Communication course taken by students in RIT's Civil Engineering/Environmental Management and Safety department.The collaboration provided a scenario that increased the students' engagement with the course's oral and written communication assignments and exposed them to the economic factors surrounding the assignments, especially factors related to the governmental permitting process.
