Description

 

Introduction - history of technology - understanding technology and its challenges (definition, use, origin, work, change, costs and benefits, evaluation) - technology, globalization and social development - sociological factors and effects (values, ethics, lifestyle, institutions and groups, international) - case study - technology and engineering profession (ethics, problems, practice, future environment).

 

Objectives

 

• To establish an understanding to technology and its nature and history.

• To Expose the relationship between Technology and society

• To enrich students background with the technology role in societal disciplines.

• To Introduce engineering profession and its disciplines to students.
