Course Description The issue of societal impacts of technological innovation is becoming commonplace among engineers, technologists and designers. Less well known is the question of the social dimension of technology in its making. Based on the body of knowledge produced by the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS), and referring to historical and current cases, this course will teach students to recognize that several technologies are in fact shaped not only by scientific and engineering research, but also by the link to reference social groups, local cultures, and economic and political interests.
