UVa course shows technology impact on society aids crisis
The University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science expanded its non engineer targeted courses on the impact of technology on society. It now covers urban information and energy systems with team teaching across departments. A two course sequence includes an energy game modeling household responses to energy shortages. The program has drawn $15000 from Westinghouse Foundation and cites lawmakers as non scientists in need of technical literacy. The article notes national growth to 60 70 schools and mentions an Office of Technology Assessment as a response to policy needs.
