LTCM 330 Thinking through Technology

This course explores how humans have used tools to understand themselves and the world around them. This course also explores theoretical texts that highlight key ideas clarifying how to think about humans as engineers. It focuses on four contemporary sciences and technologies that are converging at increasing rates: the NBIC (nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science). In this course, we will discuss these key texts in relation to various sciences and technologies including genetic engineering, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
