Ringkasan program

The society, technology and policy major is designed for those who wish to prepare for a career in which they will deal with the society's critical problems. Environment, energy, space, communications, education, defense, and global competition are all recognized as policy areas in which technological change is playing an important role. To address such problems in these fields, policy makers and analysts must be technically literate and familiar with the tools of analysis in the social sciences. This is precisely the background and knowledge that the society, technology and policy program seeks to provide. In the society, technology and policy program, students major in social science and complete the equivalent of a minor in a science or engineering discipline of their choice. Over a dozen technological alternatives are available including: biotechnology, computer science, civil and environmental engineering, and management. Students take courses in at least two social science disciplines: economics, political science, psychological science and sociology. The social science coursework will emphasize policy issues and the study of the ways in which science and technology shape society and, conversely, the ways in which social forces affect the development of technology.
