CORE 401 - Global Questions:Technology and Social Change

Institution:

Meredith College

Subject:

Description:

(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) Though technology in various forms pervades and sometimes greatly enhances our lives, individuals in modern societies often have little say in choosing the technologies they will adopt. Using a case study approach, this course examines the social impact of technological innovation from antiquity to the present and in diverse world cultures of our time. Readings and discussions lead toward team projects where students identify a problem or opportunity using technology and social change, research the issue, prepare a proposal for a foundation grant, and present the proposal to the class. Students are particularly encouraged to make personal contact with human resources. Students are also invited to publish proposals and presentations at the undergraduate research conference or on a public CORE 401 Web site, or both. Prerequisite: 75 credit hours completed upon course enrollment.
