Description:

A case study in the relationship of technology and society, involving off-campus field trips and focusing on the interaction of land, people and technology. By considering the natural landforms of the United States and other countries as appropriate, the students see how the nature of land determines its value. As technological innovations are made and introduced, old relationships with the land are altered, sometimes irreversibly. Through this study students have a concrete example of the positive and negative effects of technology on the social structure. Part of the science and technology studies concentration; the science, technology and environmental studies minor; and may also be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)
