SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Preliminaries
Course Title : Science, Technology, and Society
No. of Units : 3 units
Course Description:
The course deals with interactions between science and technology and social, cultural, political, and economic contexts that shape
and are shaped by them. (CMO No. 20, series of 2013)
This interdisciplinary course engages students to confront the realities brought about by science and technology in society. Such
realities pervade the personal, the public, and the global aspects of our living and are integral to human development. Scientific
knowledge and technological development happen in the context of society with all its socio-political, cultural, economic, and
philosophical underpinnings at play. This course seeks to instill reflective knowledge in the students that they are able to live the
good life and display ethical decision making in the face of scientific and technological advancement.
This course includes mandatory topics on climate change and environmental awareness.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
