COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course deals with interactions between science and technology and
social, cultural, political, and economic contexts that shape and are shaped
by them. (CMO No. 20, series of 2013)
The interdisciplinary course engages students to confront the realities brought
about by science and technology in society. Such realities pervade the
personal, the public, and the global aspects of our living and are integral to
human development. Scientific knowledge and technology development
happen in the context of society with all its socio-political, cultural, economic,
and philosophical underpinnings at play. This course seeks to instill reflective
knowledge in the students that they are able to live the good life and display
ethical decision making in the face of scientific and technological
advancement.
This course includes mandatory topics on climate change and environmental
awareness.
