STS in Engineering: The Teaching and Research Activities of the Centre for Technology and Social Development at the University of Toronto

University of Toronto

The conceptual framework and core courses of the certificate program in Preventive Engineering and Social Development of the Centre for Technology and Social Development at the University of Toronto are briefly described. Preventive approaches for the engi neering, management, and regulation of technology examine how technology fits into, interacts with, and depends on human life, society, and the biosphere in order to apply this understanding in a negative feed back mode to avoid or reduce harmful effects to these contexts. These approaches represent a new paradigm for engineering education and practice enriched through STS.
