Introduction to Technology and Policy: Course Description
This course examines the results of policy combined with technology. It looks at how the NRC (National Research Council) creates, setups and carries through a research project involving policy associated with a certain technology. Students in the original course studied how policy and technology choices were conceived and evaluated and how globalization affects these choices. Students learned to write reports and memos and to speak via formal presentations and casual discussion in addition to learning how to work in teams. The courses also considered policy and technology problems in the fields of IT, transportation and the environment. Professors Dan Roos and Annalisa Weigel taught the original course at MIT. They used a lecture and recitation-style format. The course was part of the curricula of the Engineering Systems Division.
Users of 'Introduction to Technology and Policy' OpenCourseWare can avail themselves to lecture slides, readings, assignments, recitation, term project guidelines and support readings, previous student final reports and other resources related to the class.
