AHSE2100 Engineering in Context
Engineering, science, technology, and math are fundamentally human endeavors, socially constructed and society-shaping. This dialogue between humans, our natural environment, and the technical world that we have created are complex and fascinating.
Each student will select a technical course that you are concurrently taking, and you will use that course to explore its larger STEM discipline through lenses such as its ethical, environmental, and societal (historical, political, economic…) contexts and implications. We will engage in common readings and projects intended to build a critical thinking toolkit for historical and contextual study, and students will also explore their chosen technical field individually or in small groups. This course represents a novel approach towards interdisciplinary integration: you get to choose the course we'll connect with, and all of us will deepen the connection. And as a relatively new offering still open to modifications, we have many opportunities to work together to improve this learning experience throughout the semester. Join the fun and let's build something exciting!
