(by appt. only)

Technology I is a broad-based course that is delivered in a lecture/discussion and activity based format. It covers a wide range of technological concepts along with familiar examples of how technology impacts our lives as individuals, a society and a global community. This is an exploratory class and thus a wide array of material is at our disposal.

• Develop a philosophical perspective regarding technology in relation to other disciplines.
• Define technology as a broad and dynamic concept that includes the interaction of volition, knowledge, resources, process, and outcomes.
• Identify and compare emerging trends in technology.
• Analyze situations of technology transfer from research to commercialization, from one application to another and from one culture to another.
• Assess technological events and artifacts for their impacts on individuals, society and the future.
• Apply forecasting techniques to project technological developments and potential impacts.
