SYDE 261 - Culture of Design, Impacts

This course will help students understand how others think about technology, and then use this knowledge to make better choices when designing. This impact course focuses on identifying, understanding, and analyzing the interactions and impacts among technology, society and the environment for current and emerging technologies using theoretical and evidence-based analyses. Connections among systems of systems engineering, impact analyses, evidence-based analyses, needs assessment, the design process, advocacy, and professional engineering will be discussed and applied.
