Technology and Consequences: Engineering, Ethics, and Humanity
Credit only granted for: ENEE200 or ENES200.
What makes a technology socially responsible? At UMD, the Fearless Ideas campaign asks us to aim our enthusiasm for technology at big real problems. At the same time, we are coming to appreciate the increasingly complex nature of technological systems as they become integrated into all forms of infrastructure, we realize they may be unpredictable, interdependent on social and biological systems, and have unintended consequences. In this midst of this complexity, people make decisions with far reaching impacts. How then do we follow our passion for technology and innovation but also stay skeptical in a way that allows us to consider the potential and shortcomings of technology? Designed for both engineering and non-engineering students wishing to explore and assess the impact of engineering technology on society and the role of society in generating that technology.

A guided investigation and seminar course, in which advanced undergraduates assess potentially transformative applications of quantum technology. Students work in teams of two or three, with faculty guidance, to explore the research landscape across disciplines of interest to them, in order to assess promising new approaches for interdisciplinary, translational, pre-start-up, and/or start-up-ready quantum technology. Students read the relevant literature, examine the needs of potential technology users, and interact as needed with relevant faculty, students, postdocs, and potential customers and investors. For each of two projects per student team during the semester, a "case-study" is generated to assess and recommend possible paths forward for the quantum technology being assessed. Results can be provided to the researchers whose technology is assessed; and may inform new interdisciplinary research or translation.
A guided investigation and seminar course, in which advanced undergraduates assess potentially transformative applications of quantum technology. Students work in teams of two or three, with faculty guidance, to explore the research landscape across disciplines of interest to them, in order to assess promising new approaches for interdisciplinary, translational, pre-start-up, and/or start-up-ready quantum technology. Students read the relevant literature, examine the needs of potential technology users, and interact as needed with relevant faculty, students, postdocs, and potential customers and investors. For each of two projects per student team during the semester, a "case-study" is generated to assess and recommend possible paths forward for the quantum technology being assessed. Results can be provided to the researchers whose technology is assessed; and may inform new interdisciplinary research or translation.
