Science, Technology, and Public Policy Additional Major and Technology and Policy Minor Info Session聽

Wednesday, April 15, 5 to 6 p.m., email Deanna Matthews for location information

Students can drop in any time during the hour for an overview and Q&A.听

The Science, Technology, and Public Additional Major and Technology Policy Minor provide students with skills and knowledge to work on problems at the interface between technology and society and enhance their interdisciplinary problem solving skills.听

Society is largely responsible for setting the goals and framing the problems that engineers and scientists work on. However, technologies designed by engineers and scientists profoundly change the societies in which they operate. This connection requires students from all disciplines to work together on solutions.听

鈥淏ut I don鈥檛 want to work in government.鈥� That鈥檚 fine - our program is designed for career paths to industry and consulting where interfacing with policy happens. Graduates of the program have gone to work in consulting, industry, and government in areas where they support organizations in technical problems such as satellite ground operations for Space X (CMIST), water infrastructure improvements (Chemistry), international security (SDS), climate research (Physics), among others.
