ACIT4005 Technology and society: Critical perspectives in practice Course description

The rapidity and radicality of new and emergent technological developments have potentially far-reaching consequences that may lead to major changes in our civilization and confronts us - as individuals and societies - with new ways of knowing and acting, and pivotal questions, challenges, and opportunities. Addressing these issues requires a broad and interdisciplinary approach: it is increasingly important that future engineers, computer and data scientists, and technologists in general, can reason about the possible implications of technology in their own field as well as society at large.

Concrete questions concerning technology and technological development are examined through historical and contemporary texts, concrete and hypothetical technologies, and relevant real-world cases. Through lectures, colloquial presentations, discussions and writing, students will develop an advanced understanding of the interconnectivity of technology and society and familiarise themselves with theoretical and analytical tools and terms that enables discussions and critical assessments of technological trends, tasks, and practices. This course gives the students opportunities to explore and critically examine key dimensions of technologies and methods that will be part of their master’s thesis.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.
