Description

This course provides students with the opportunity to learn about the history of technology in the United States. International contexts will be covered, but primary emphasis will be on the history and role of technological development and innovation in America. Given that the United States often is labeled the “technological society,†broadly speaking students will be provided with the opportunity to learn about the various intersections of technology with society and politics from the Colonial Era through today. This includes coverage of the history of communication, transportation, applied and general science, and medical technologies. Meets the Social and Behavioral Sciences requirement.
