Investigates how technology and engineering have both shaped our modern world and been shaped by it. Inquiry-based projects examine the history of technology through historical sources and provide opportunities for critical reflection on how historical thinking can inform engineering practice. Alongside an overview of modern engineering and technology, we investigate questions such as whether new technologies made household labor easier in the 20th century and how the needs of end-users shaped the development of computing. Formerly HUEN 1850.
